How to make a gift of retirement assets

To leave your retirement assets to Stand Up To Cancer, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. If you designate Stand Up To Cancer as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your IRA assets will not be taxed at your death. Your estate will benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.
