Planned or Deferred Gifts

Planned and deferred gifts are powerful ways to create lasting change. By including the PBS Impact Foundation in your long-term financial or estate planning, you ensure that your legacy lives on—supporting scholarships, youth development, and community investment for generations to come. 


As the official philanthropic arm of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., the PBS Impact Foundation is committed to building a stronger future for young men of color and the communities they serve. A planned gift is an opportunity to align your personal values with meaningful, long-term impact. 

Why Make a Planned Gift?

  • Sustain the Mission: Ensure continued funding for programs that promote education, 
    leadership, and social action.

  • Leave a Legacy: Create a lasting tribute to your commitment to service and the principles of Phi Beta Sigma. 

  • Maximize Impact: Make a transformative gift that may not be possible during your lifetime.

  • Achieve Financial Goals: Many planned gifts offer tax benefits and income 
    opportunities for you and your loved ones. 

Types of Planned Gifts

  • Bequests: Name the PBS Impact Foundation in your will or living trust. 

  • Beneficiary Designations: Add the Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, life insurance policy, or investment account.

  • Charitable Gift Annuities or Trusts: Set up an arrangement that provides income to 
    you or your heirs while supporting our mission.

  • Donor-Advised Funds: Recommend the PBS Impact Foundation as a beneficiary of 
    your DAF. 

How to Get Started

  1. Consult Your Advisor: Speak with your attorney or financial planner to explore the best 
    giving option for your goals. 

  2. Inform Us of Your Intentions: Let us know about your gift so we can recognize your 
    generosity and ensure your wishes are fulfilled. We can assist you with possible language to include in your estate plan. 

  3. Join the Legacy Circle: Donors who make a planned gift are welcomed into our Legacy Circle and celebrated as lifelong partners in impact.

​

Planned giving is not only a reflection of your personal legacy—it’s an investment in a future shaped by service, scholarship, and systemic change.
