An Easy Way to Leave a Legacy

Naming Johns Hopkins as a beneficiary of your retirement account, bank or investment account, or donor advised fund is one of the most efficient ways to support our future.

In celebration of our sesquicentennial, a portion of qualified gifts made by beneficiary designation are currently being matched with an outright gift. Learn more about the Johns Hopkins Legacy Match.

Advantages:

• Continue to use your account as you normally would and update your beneficiary designations at any time.
• Make a future gift without having to revise your will or trust documents.

How it works:

• With just a simple form, name Johns Hopkins as a sole beneficiary or a beneficiary of any percentage of the account alongside your loved ones or other charities.

How to make your gift:

1.  Contact your account administrator to request the appropriate form. If you manage your account online, you may be able to update your beneficiary designations through your portal on the administrator’s website..

2. Contact the Johns Hopkins Office of Gift Planning for next steps at 410-516-7954 or [email protected]

Note: If you’re 70 ½ or older, you can transfer assets from a traditional IRA directly to Johns Hopkins to make an immediate gift and/or a one-time distribution to establish a charitable gift annuity.
