Building power for those that will inherit Texas. Your gift makes a big difference to us.
Making a planned gift to the Texas Freedom Network can provide a meaningful opportunity to advance the values that have been most important to you in your life.
You can include TFN as a beneficiary in your will, set up a charitable gift annuity, name TFN as a beneficiary in a living trust, or make a gift of stock.

Bequests to the Texas Freedom Network
The most common planned gift is a bequest through your will or living trust. You can arrange a gift of a specific amount, a percentage, or even all or part of the residuum of your estate. If you would like to make such a gift to Texas Freedom Network or the TFN Education Fund, your attorney may wish to include language similar to the following:
“I hereby direct $___________ (or ____ percent of my residual estate) in cash, securities, or other property to the Texas Freedom Network to be used for its general purposes.”
Donate Stocks or Securities
The gift of an appreciated asset is a powerful way to support Texas Freedom Network or the TFN Education Fund’s critical work.
By transferring stock or mutual funds to the Texas Freedom Network, a 501(c)(4) organization, you do not have to pay capital gains taxes on the stock, but you are not eligible for a charitable deduction for the value of the stock itself.
By making a gift of appreciated securities to the TFN Education Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, you will avoid paying capital gains tax on all stock that you choose to donate and you are eligible for a charitable deduction on the full fair market value of your gift.
