Planned Giving & LEAP Legacy Society Planned Giving Options Become a member of the LEAP Legacy Society by including LEAP in your estate plans. Here are a few ways to do so: Bequest: Remember LEAP in your will One of the simplest and most meaningful planned gifts is to remember LEAP in your will, where you can designate either a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate to LEAP. Countless young LEAPers will benefit from your foresight to include LEAP in your will, and your generous gesture serves as an example of the values you hold dear. Sample Language: “I give and bequeath to Leadership, Education, and Athletics in Partnership, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, with principal offices presently located at 31 Jefferson Street, New Haven, CT, 06511, the sum of _____ (or _______% of my estate), to be used for the accomplishment of its general purpose.” Retirement Plans: Name LEAP as a beneficiary, or transfer directly Naming LEAP as a beneficiary of your 401k, IRA, or other retirement accounts is incredibly impactful for your heirs and for LEAP. Retirement accounts that have grown tax-free over time are generally the most desirable assets for charitable giving, as they are taxable to heirs when inherited. Additionally, with an IRA, once you reach age 70½, you can donate up to $111,000 of your required minimum distribution (RMD) annually directly to LEAP through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), reducing your adjusted gross income for tax and Medicare payment calculations. Life Insurance: Transfer ownership of a policy or make LEAP a beneficiary Often overlooked as a method of planned giving, there are many ways for a life insurance policy to benefit LEAP. Adding LEAP as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, transferring ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to LEAP, or taking out a policy and making LEAP the owner and beneficiary will greatly benefit LEAP and the children we serve. Charitable Trust: Create income for yourself and transfer assets to LEAP later A charitable trust arrangement will allow you to use your assets to create a stream of income for yourself or your beneficiaries. You can transfer the principal assets to LEAP once the trust has terminated, or you can name LEAP as a beneficiary of the generated income, and return the assets to your family after a specified number of years. Questions: Contact us for more information For more information or to talk further about a planned gift, please contact LEAP’s Vice President of Development and Communications, Rachel Kline Brown, at (203) 773-0770 or rklinebrown@leapforkids.org . Please also consult your financial or legal advisor who understands your specific situation before making a planned gift. If you have already included LEAP in a bequest or other planned gift, we thank you and hope you will let us know by contacting Rachel. Legac Society LEAP Legacy Society Those who make planned gifts to LEAP will receive membership in the LEAP Legacy Society, a community of like-minded individuals who love New Haven and truly care about New Haven's youth. In addition to the satisfaction of making a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of children, admission into the LEAP Legacy Society offers the following benefits: An Annual Lunch at LEAP with select Counselors, Program Staff, Board Members, and Executive Director, Henry Fernandez The opportunity, if you agree, to be publicly recognized as a LEAP Legacy Society Member in LEAP publications Recognition at our Annual LEAP Year Event Reception in printed materials and during the program, if you choose A Legacy Society Pin given only to those supporters who have remembered LEAP in their will or estate plan “LEAP’s values align with mine, so I donate to make their work with young people possible now. I plan to keep supporting them when I am gone because I want my legacy to continue to reflect these same values. That is why I am here on earth - to provide for my family and support organizations with missions that align with my values - now and in the future.” If you have included LEAP in your estate plans and wish to be a part of the LEAP Legacy Society, we thank you and hope you will let us know by contacting Rachel at rklinebrown@leapforkids.org .

LEAP Playing Field Construction Scope of Work PROJECT OVERVIEW Project Name: Playing Field Sinkholes Repair Project Location: 31 Jefferson Street, New Haven CT, 06511 Project Owner: Leadership Education and Athletics in Partnership Inc PROJECT DESCRIPTION LEAP is looking to fix two sinkholes located in the back field of the LEAP Community Center by June 2024. SCOPE OF WORK Excavation Process: Utilize an excavator to dig down into the sinkholes, ensuring safety protocols are followed throughout the operation. Cavity Identification and Remediation: Inspect the sinkholes for any cavities or voids. Any identified voids shall be filled with either flowable fill or clean stones, depending on the size and nature of the space, to provide stable support and prevent further subsidence. Backfilling: Following cavity remediation, backfill the excavated areas with suitable material, such as compactable soil or gravel, to restore the ground to its original level and ensure structural integrity. Compaction Protocol: Employ compaction machinery to compact the backfilled material layer by layer, with compaction occurring approximately every 6 inches throughout the filled area. This process ensures optimal soil density, enhancing stability and longevity of the repaired surface. Grading and Seeding: Once compaction is completed, carefully grade the repaired areas to achieve proper surface contouring and drainage. Following grading, seed the area with appropriate grass seeds to promote vegetation growth and restore the playing field's aesthetic. Quality Assurance and Site Cleanup: Throughout the project, conduct regular quality checks to verify adherence to specifications and standards. Upon completion, remove any excess material, debris, or equipment from the site, leaving the area clean, safe, and ready for use. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain comprehensive documentation of all work performed, including excavation depths, materials used, compaction specifications, and any other relevant details. Provide a final report summarizing the repair process and confirming compliance with project requirements. Post-Repair Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitor the repaired sinkhole areas annually following completion to ensure long-term stability and address any potential issues promptly. Implement a maintenance plan as necessary to preserve the integrity and functionality of the playing field over time. Monitoring will happen for a 24-month period. HOW TO APPLY Please submit a detailed proposal at application@leapforkids.org by April 27th. If you need more information, you can call our office, Monday through Friday, 10 am – 5 pm at 203-773-0770 and ask to speak to the Deputy Chief of Staff, Tina Sapiente.
