You can also support RARE by naming us as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan- either for a specific amount or a percentage of the account.

Wills, Trusts, and Legacies

Including RARE in your will or trust is a powerful way to create a lasting impact without affecting your finances today. A legacy gift ensures your values continue forward and helps sustain RARE’s mission for future generations. Many supporters choose to leave a percentage of their estate, name RARE as a beneficiary of a trust, or designate specific assets such as retirement funds or life insurance.
