Naming gifts: Those who would like to name the Early Career, Travel, or Presidents award can discuss naming opportunities with the current president or treasurer.

Honorary & Memorial Giving

Honorary and memorial funds enable colleagues, friends and family to give or establish a gift to celebrate the continuing or past legacy of an SRP member or an individual diagnosed with psychopathology, or who lost their life in their battle against their psychopathology. Contact the president or treasurer if you would like to set up such a fund.

Legacy Giving

Celebrate the success of our society and chart our future as the premier psychopathology conference. If you wish to ensure our conference will continue to live on and inspire future scientists, contact the president about legacy giving.

Bequests

A bequest (transfer of cash, securities or other property through a will or a living trust) to SRP is a flexible, tax-advantageous way to leave a legacy of support for clinical science. By naming SRP to receive a gift in your will, your estate will generate tax credits that may offset your tax bill.

Gifts of Life Insurance

When SRP is beneficiary of your life insurance policy, your estate is eligible for a charitable tax receipt. You may name SRP the owner and beneficiary of a policy and receive a tax receipt for the cash-surrender value of the policy, and a tax receipt for any additional premium payments made after the policy is assigned.

Gifts of Registered Assets

For many of us, retirement plans and University-sponsored pensions are their largest assets besides their homes. Withdrawals from these funds will be taxed. If you name the SRP as beneficiary of your funds, your estate will receive a tax credit for the entire amount of the gift.

Charitable Trusts

If you wish to give assets to SRP through your will, but would like to receive tax benefits, you might consider a charitable trust agreement. With funding from cash, securities, or real estate, you may create a charitable remainder trust with a trust company or individual named by you. The remainder interest of the fund is donated and held in trust for SRP. You retain the income interest for life.
