Anita Weinberg is no stranger to Inglis. She has served on Inglis’ Board of Directors since 2015 and leads the organization’s fundraising initiatives as Chair of the Advancement Committee. During this time, Anita’s focus has supported large initiatives, like the opening of the Inglis Innovation Center and fundraising events that raised significant funds for Inglis’ Assistive Technology Program.
Anita, a longtime annual donor, is also one of the newest members of the Annie Inglis Society, which recognizes those generous people who make a planned gift to Inglis. She joins a vibrant list of donors from all walks of life whose generosity helps secure Inglis’ future.
While Anita’s initial plan was to include a bequest to Inglis in her will, it wasn’t until a chance conversation as she neared a milestone birthday that she realized she could make a planned gift now that made an immediate impact. After talking with her financial advisor, Anita started directing a portion of her required minimum distribution from her retirement fund to Inglis. The process was simple, and, in fact, it meant that she could increase her giving while enjoying the tax benefits.
“I always thought of planned giving as something very complicated,” shared Anita. “And while we still plan to include Inglis in our will, I’m grateful to be able to increase my giving and see the impact of that support now. It really goes to show that planned giving is for everyone.”
Now, Anita continues to support Inglis as an annual donor and is making a greater impact than ever before through her IRA. Inglis thanks all those who make planned gifts and welcomes Anita to the Annie Inglis Society!
