How to Give

Not only do you have options for how your gift will be used, you also have options on what to give and how to give. There are gifts that cost you nothing now, gifts that pay you income, and gifts that allow you to decide what happens when.

A Gift to American Atheists

A practical way to make a planned gift to American Atheists is to include American Atheists in your will or revocable trust, or as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance. If you have already made a provision to include American Atheists in your financial planning, please notify us by completing and returning this document. By documenting your bequest intention, American Atheists will have an opportunity to recognize your generous support in your lifetime.

Information provided to signify your bequest intention to American Atheists will remain completely confidential unless you authorize American Atheists to publicize your gift. American Atheists understands that all bequest provisions are revocable, and any intentions stated here are not binding on you or your estate.

I have made revocable gift commitments for American Atheists as follows (check all that apply):

Bequest Approximate value: $_______________

Life Insurance Policy Approximate value: $_______________

IRA or other retirement plan Approximate value: $_______________

Other asset Approximate value: $_______________

Recognition (Select one.):

I/we accept membership into the The Legacy Circle (recognition society for donors who have included American Atheists in their estate plan). Please publish my/our name(s) among your lists of The Legacy Circle members.
Please clearly print the text as it should appear: _____________________________________________

Please do not list my/our name(s) publicly.

If your gift is for a percentage of your estate, rather than a fixed amount, American Atheists will be happy to use your good faith estimate of the current value based on this percentage. While not required, you may wish to include a copy of the relevant portion of related documents.
