Sunshine Society
The Proteus Syndrome Foundation would like to thank all families and friends who have honored this organization by putting the Proteus Syndrome Foundation in their wills, as a way to help children and adults who suffer from this disorder.
If you are unfamiliar with Bequest Programs, please read on to understand more clearly what our Sunshine Society is and how it works.
Gift Through Your Will
One reason donors make gifts through wills rather than during their lifetimes is to preserve assets for their own use and to maintain current control over the assets in case they want to change a bequest. For many donors, the most significant expression of their life values is made in the form of a charitable bequest in a will. Bequests can be made in the form of a specific gift of cash or property, or a percentage of an estate.
Friends who inform the Proteus Syndrome Foundation of their plan for a bequest to benefit our organization are recognized through the Sunshine Society. To confirm your membership in the Sunshine Society, the Proteus Syndrome Foundation will simply request that a copy of the page within your will, naming the Proteus Syndrome Foundation a beneficiary, be submitted to us by your attorney with a cover letter confirming the information. This is to protect you, the donor, and the Proteus Syndrome Foundation, in the event your wishes are contested.

Stock Gift
A stock gift can be very tax wise! Appreciated stock held long term (for one year or more) can be given to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation, thus allowing you, the donor, to avoid long-term capital gains tax.
The full fair market value of the stock is available to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation to support our mission. Not only do you avoid capital gains tax, but you are also entitled to a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value!

Life Insurance Gift
Most people have life insurance coverage to meet the needs that we all can face. But life insurance is often overlooked as a way to make a substantial gift for a relatively modest annual premium.
A donor can name the Proteus Syndrome Foundation as the primary beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The donor retains ownership of the policy, with access to the cash surrender value. At the donor’s death, the face value of the policy will be included in the donor’s gross estate. However, if the decedent had directed that the Proteus Syndrome Foundation receives the life insurance proceeds, the estate will incur a deduction from the gross estate. A donor can also name the Proteus Syndrome Foundation as a secondary beneficiary to receive the proceeds should the primary beneficiary predecease the owner.
A donor may receive more immediate tax benefits for an irrevocable assignment of proceeds or gift of a life insurance policy to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation. Upon the completion of the assignment or gift, the donor is permitted an immediate federal income-tax deduction for the lesser of either the policy’s fair-marked value, or the net premiums paid. In order to obtain an income-tax charitable deduction, the donor cannot retain any rights of the policy. If the descendent had directed that the PSF receive the life insurance proceeds.

Matching Gift
You may double, or even triple your gift to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation by having your employer match your donation. Thousands of companies offer to match their employee’s charitable contributions. Some require forms to be completed by the employee. Most companies have guidelines that the non-profit organization and employee must meet before a donation can be matched. Your company’s Human Resources Department can give you more information about your employer’s program, as well as the proper forms to complete.
Mail your Matching Gift Form along with your contribution to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation. We will complete and return the form to your employer.
