Planned Giving

Create your legacy

A planned gift is one of the most impactful ways you can support Pelotonia and critical cancer research. The Pelotonia Legacy Society honors those who’ve made a lasting commitment to Ending Cancer by including Pelotonia in their estate plans. Their generosity fuels the next wave of breakthroughs at the OSUCCC – James and helps ensure that life-saving research continues well into the future.

Planned giving, also known as legacy giving, allows you to leave a meaningful gift to Pelotonia through your will, retirement account, or other long-term plan. You may even enjoy tax benefits or other financial advantages while supporting a mission you care deeply about.

Already included Pelotonia in your estate plans? Fill out the form to let us know.

Planned giving options

01

Retirement Plan Beneficiary

You can name Pelotonia as a partial or full beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account — it’s one of the easiest ways to make a lasting impact. Just reach out to your plan administrator and ask for a beneficiary designation form.

List Pelotonia as: Pelotonia, 2281 Kenny Rd., Ste 450, Columbus, OH 43210; Tax ID: 82-4997087

02

Life Insurance Policy Beneficiary

Another simple way to give back is by naming Pelotonia as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy — in full, in part, or as a backup (contingent) beneficiary. You’ll still own and use your policy as you always have.

To make the change, contact your insurance provider for a beneficiary designation form and list: Pelotonia, 2281 Kenny Rd., Ste 450, Columbus, OH 43210; Tax ID: 82-4997087

03

Bequests in Wills or Trusts

Already have a will? It’s easy to update it to include a gift to Pelotonia. Your attorney can add a short amendment to reflect your wishes, whether that’s a specific amount, a percentage, or the remainder of your estate. It’s a simple way to keep your passion for Ending Cancer going strong.

Sample language: “I/We give (specific amount, specific asset, percentage, or remainder of estate) to Pelotonia (Tax ID: 82-4997087), or its successor, Columbus, Ohio, to benefit (Operations and/or Research Grants) at Pelotonia or as further designated by me in writing to Pelotonia.”

04

Gifts that Provide Income

Some gifts can even give back to you! Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) provide income for you or a loved one during your lifetime, with the remainder supporting Pelotonia’s mission. While Pelotonia doesn’t manage these directly, your financial advisor, estate attorney, or local community foundation can help you create one that fits your goals.

“I simply want an end to cancer and I firmly believe that the only way to do that is to provide research funding to the best and brightest
researchers so that one day we get to experience a life that is cancer-free.”

We have all been touched by cancer, one way or another, and when we began thinking about allocating a portion of our estate to medical purposes, Pelotonia was an obvious choice for us.”
