LDA Foundation

Planned Giving

Planned giving is a way to leave a lasting impact on the LDA Foundation, Louisiana dentists, and organized dentistry. There are many options to make a planned gift, all with their own opportunities and advantages for you and the LDA Foundation.

Planned gifts secure the future of our programs, including the LA Mission of Mercy, disaster relief, and access to care grants. 

A planned gift made to the LDA Foundation can be restricted or unrestricted. Because the Foundation's needs may grow and change over the years, donors often make their bequests unrestricted, in order to allow the LDA Foundation to utilize the funds where they are most needed. However, we encourage you to speak with your financial planner to find an option that works best for you. 

Benefits of Making a Planned Gift

In addition to supporting the mission of the LDA Foundation, a planned gift can provide to you substantial tax advantages. The benefits include:

  • An Income Tax Deduction
  • Income for Life

Simply by taking advantage of incentives the IRS provides, you and your advisor can craft a gift that fits your needs, as well as the needs of the LDA Foundation. A planned gift makes it possible for you, your loved ones, and the LDA Foundation to all benefit.

We want to be sure that we can fulfill your wishes. If you have any questions, please contact: Tiffany Waddell at (225) 926-1986, or via email at tiffany@ladental.org.
