Champions’ Circle Society

The Champions’ Circle Society recognizes those individuals who have included the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation in their estate plans or have contributed to the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation through a life-income gift.

Becoming a member of the Champions’ Circle Society is quite simple.  In fact, you have qualified for membership if you have informed us that you have named the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation in your will.  You need not disclose the amount you intend to bequeath if you do not wish to do so.  When you inform us of your intentions, we respect your wishes, regarding how you would like to be recognized or if you would prefer to remain anonymous.  All details of your gift are held in the strictest confidence.

--Did you know making a planned gift just takes a simple designation in your will and will not affect your cash flow during your lifetime? Plus, your estate is entitled to an unlimited estate tax charitable deduction for bequests to qualified charitable organizations (such as the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation).

--Did you know that donors aged 70 ½ years can transfer lifetime gifts up to $100,000 using funds from their individual retirement account (IRA) without undesirable tax effects through charitable IRA rollover legislation? This opportunity is only available through December 31, 2011. By making a gift this year of up to $100,000 from your IRA, you can see your philanthropic dollars at work. You are jump-starting the legacy you would like to leave and giving yourself the joy of watching your philanthropy take shape.

--Did you know you can make a gift and receive guaranteed fixed payments for life? Through the establishment of charitable gift annuities, you can receive payments that may be much higher than your return on low-earning securities or CDs.
