Remember ABPP in your estate planning

An important and overlooked means of ensuring that our work continues is by making a bequest to ABPP in your will. The Federal Government encourages such gifts by allowing an unlimited estate tax deduction. Oftentimes these funds are designated for the Fund for the Future, which insures the functioning of ABPP in perpetuity.

Financial Advantages for Donors

Through planned giving, donor friends can make a lasting contribution that both benefits them and at the same time support the future of psychology as a profession.
