Making a bequest is one of the simplest and most flexible ways to give. After you provide for family and loved ones, it’s easy to bequeath a percentage of your estate or fixed sum to the Rolfe Foundation. Please notify Angela Horn at  info@rolfefoundation.org if you intend to include us in your will.  

While we cannot provide legal or financial advice, you can reach out to your estate planner with the following sample language:  

Gifting a fixed percentage: “I give to the Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, a not-for-profit organization located in Chicago, IL, EIN 36-4338152, twenty-five percent (25%) of my estate for its general uses and purposes.”  

Gifting a fixed sum: “I give to the Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, a not-for-profit organization located in Chicago, IL, EIN 36-4338152, the sum of $10,000.00 for its general uses and purposes.”  

Gifting a percentage of your estate after providing specific bequests for loved ones: “All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, of what so ever kind and where so ever situate, shall be distributed as follows:  fifty percent (50%) to the Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, a not-for-profit organization located in Chicago, IL, EIN 36-4338152, for its general uses and purposes and fifty percent (50%) to my local food bank.”  

Making a bequest can be an impactful, tax-wise way to give. Your estate planner will help you draft a bequest that balances varied priorities and reflects your wishes. 

We are excited to help you explore creative ways to build your legacy of hope. Please reach out to Olivia Yoch at oyoch@rolfefoundation.org or call 773.989.1108 for more resources.

Consider naming us the beneficiary of your DAF, retirement plan, or life insurance policy! This means you retain full control of your accounts during your lifetime, ensuring access to the funds you need. After your lifetime, anything remaining passes Rolfe Foundation to fuel cancer research and patient support services. 

If you are including Rolfe Foundation as a beneficiary, please notify our office at info@rolfefoundation.org. Your plan administrator is not required to notify us of your intentions—please let us know you want to support the mission with your estate! 

To name Rolfe Foundation as a beneficiary of an account, you will need to contact your IRA, DAF, or life insurance administrator. You may be able to initiate the change yourself online. Look for options titled “Designate a Beneficiary” or similar. 

When naming us the beneficiary of your account, please use the following information:

Legal Name: Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation
Tax ID/EIN Number: 36-4338152 

Heirs may have to pay up to 60% of the balance remaining in your retirement account after inheritance, estate, and income taxes. Fuel cancer research instead of paying taxes. Leaving pre-tax assets to charity and other assets to heirs helps you maximize your legacy. 

If you have a DAF or IRA, you may also take advantage of special rules allowing one-time lump sum transfers to a charitable gift annuity or trust, which can provide income to you or a family member. For more information, contact Olivia Yoch via oyoch@rolfefoundation.org or call 773.989.1108 to speak with a staff member. 

What are the benefits of naming Rolfe Foundation a beneficiary of my IRA, 401(k), or other account? 

• You maintain flexibility to change your charitable giving if your family needs change.
• You continue to take your regular withdrawals during your lifetime.
• Passing the remainder or part of the remainder to Rolfe Foundation may reduce the tax burden on your heirs and allow you to make a larger gift.
• You know you are leaving a legacy of hope in cancer research and support.

Certain types of gifts can provide fixed payments to you or a beneficiary AND provide a world-changing gift to cancer research and patient support. Rolfe Foundation can help you set up a charitable gift annuity or trust. 

Please contact Olivia Yoch at oyoch@rolfefoundation.org or call 773.989.1108 to start the conversation about building your Legacy of Hope. 

Rolfe Foundation may refer this type of gift to a third-party charity specializing in facilitating these types of donations (e.g., National Gift Annuity Foundation). Gift value and donor age minimums may apply for certain gift types.

Join the Rolfe Foundation Legacy of Hope society by making a bequest, naming us a beneficiary, or creating a charitable annuity/trust. Legacy of Hope members join Rolfe Foundation’s innermost circle, where we support each other as family.
