IRA Distributions
Required Minimum Distributions (or RMDs) are the minimum amounts you must withdraw from your retirement accounts each year. RMDs are taxed at the account owner’s current income rate. There are tax advantages to having your financial advisor disburse your RMD directly to Lifelong Access as an IRA Charitable Rollover (also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution)
Estate Bequest
Lifelong Access services are partially funded by private/state insurance and grants. Donations fill gaps for people without funding and let us expand our facilities to reach more people in need.
Your gift changes the lives of kids, teens, and adults in our community.

Please notify Lifelong Access of your estate plan. Download a Statement of Intent here
Gift of Assets
Making a gift on an asset is an innovative way to provide services that improve the lives of a child, a teen, or an adult in the Lifelong Access programs and fund our services into the future.
Stocks/Securities
Donors can avoid significant capital gains by making a gift of stocks or bonds that have been held for a time. Please inform our Donor Engagement Specialist, Leni Kuntz, of your intention to donate stock to Lifelong Access at [email protected] or (309) 451-8888 x 258.
Real Estate/Farmland
Donors who give real estate or other tangible assets receive a tax deduction. This can be done in a donor's lifetime or as part of an estate bequest.
Life Insurance/Retirement Plan
You can name Lifelong Access as a beneficiary of a retirement plan (such as an IRA or pension plan), a life insurance policy, or other financial account not directed in your will or trust. To do this, request a "change of beneficiary" form from your estate plan or retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank, or brokerage firm. Naming Lifelong Access as a beneficiary may offer significant tax benefits for your estate.
