Giving through your Will or Revocable Living Trust

A gift to USCAP in your will or revocable trust enables you to support our mission and advance pathology education, research, and global collaboration to improve patient care. A bequest:

• Is easy to set up
• Will not alter your current lifestyle in any way
• Can be easily modified to address your changing needs

Specific Gift Language
Naming USCAP as a beneficiary of a specific amount from your estate is easy:

"I give and devise to the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Federal Tax ID #58-1699712, the sum of $___________ (or asset) may be used for general support or to support an existing USCAP program of my choosing."

Contingent Gift Language
USCAP can be named as a contingent beneficiary in your will or personal trust if one or more of your specific bequests cannot be fulfilled:

"If (insert name) is not living at the time of my demise, I give and devise to the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Federal Tax ID #58-1699712, the sum of $_______ (or all or a percentage of the residue of my estate) may be used for general support or to support an existing USCAP program of my choosing."

Residual Gift Language
A residual bequest comes to us after your estate expenses and specific bequests are paid:

"I give and devise to the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Federal Tax ID #58-1699712, all (or state a percentage) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, may be used for general support or to support an existing USCAP program of my choosing."

Beneficiary Language
You can name USCAP (Tax ID #58-1699712) as a beneficiary of your IRA or other qualified retirement plans, such as a 401(k), 403(b), or pension plan, or your life insurance policy.

This type of gift may offer significant tax advantages, as retirement assets can be heavily taxed when passed to heirs, but may transfer to USCAP free of income and estate taxes.

Making this change is simple—just request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator. Once completed, return it to your provider and consider notifying USCAP so we can ensure your gift is properly recognized. As always, we recommend consulting your tax advisor when considering your options.

IRA

Donors age 70½ or older may make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) of up to the annual IRS limit annually from an IRA directly to a qualified charity. QCDs may count toward required minimum distributions (RMDs) and are generally excluded from taxable income. This can be a tax-efficient way to support USCAP.

To complete a QCD, donors should instruct their IRA administrator to transfer funds directly to USCAP. Donors are encouraged to include their name with the distribution or notify us so we can properly acknowledge the gift.

USCAP encourages donors to consult with their financial or tax advisor to determine what is most appropriate for their individual circumstances. For questions or to let us know you are planning a gift, please contact us at giving@uscap.org.

Institutional Donors

USCAP welcomes partnerships with institutions that support pathology education, research, and global engagement. Sponsorship opportunities include recognition based on the level of support.
