For those of you thinking of the long game, you can name CounterPunch as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement account. To support the future of CounterPunch through a beneficiary gift, you can fill out a beneficiary designation form from your plan provider or an administrator. See our organizational information at the bottom of this letter for details.
One of the simplest ways to contribute from a retirement account is to name CounterPunch as a beneficiary for part or all of what remains in your retirement account when you no longer need it. This includes your individual retirement accounts (IRAs), Keogh plans, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and other qualified pension plans. The proceeds of these plans will be distributed outside probate and are thus entirely free from income and federal estate tax.
