GIVE The Forever Gift

Planned giving is a strategy to have an estate minimize estate tax burdens. The strategy may provide a means to keep more of your assets, reduce your taxable exposure, and make a gift to your preferred non-profit charity (RAGLAND RIFE FOUNDATION) …all at the same time. Planned giving can take the form of cash, stocks and bonds, a will, a trust, real estate, or life insurance.

The RAGLAND RIFE FOUNDATION can provide a resource who would be happy to explain to you how each option can help you reduce your gross taxable estate, obtain a sizable deduction, provide you with on-going income, while strengthening the FOUNDATION financial position.

RECENT GIFTS

FRESCHI GIFT - In the Fall of 2025 Jerry Freschi, a retired financial executive living at the Running Y Ranch Resort in Klamath Falls, provided the Foundation with a significant number of shares in stock. The sale of these shares resulted in a gift of $50,000. Jerry and his wife Susan (Klamath Falls born and raised) have been consistent supporters of the Ross Ragland Theater as well as the Foundation. Our thanks to the Freschi's for their gift to enhance the value of the Foundation endowment.
