Including Deep Spring Center in your estate plans is a way to extend that gift, helping ensure meditation, teachings, and the Aaron archive remain available for generations to come.
There are several ways to include Deep Spring Center in your legacy planning:

Beneficiary designations
You can name Deep Spring Center as a full or partial beneficiary of a retirement account (IRA, 401(k)), life insurance policy, or donor-advised fund — often simply by updating a form with your plan administrator, with no need to revise your will.
IRA charitable rollover (Qualified Charitable Distribution)
If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to donate directly from your IRA to Deep Spring Center. This can satisfy your required minimum distribution while reducing your taxable income.
Gifts of stock or appreciated assets
Donating appreciated securities directly can offer tax advantages over giving cash, while providing the same support to our programs.
We recommend consulting with your financial or estate advisor to determine which option best fits your circumstances. If you have included Deep Spring Center in your estate plans, or are considering it, we would be honored to hear from you at om@deepspring.org so we can thank you and answer any questions.
Consider contributing to Deep Spring Center from your donor-advised fund (DAF).
Please contact your financial advisor/institution to initiate a one-time or monthly grant or use your online portal.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account to support organizations such as Deep Spring Center for Meditation and Spiritual Inquiry. DAF account holders can recommend single or recurring donations to non-profit organizations. Funds in a DAF can only be used to support organizations that are tax-exempt 501(c)(3) and classified as public charities under 509(a).
