Name Platform Bangladesh as a Beneficiary

Naming Platform Bangladesh as a beneficiary on your retirement account or life insurance policy is a simple and powerful way to support our lifesaving work without changing your will or living trust. Beneficiary designation gifts pass directly to us without going through the probate process and immediately go to work to help us provide essential support.

Retirement Accounts

Many of our supporters name Platform Bangladesh as a beneficiary of all or a specified percentage of their IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement plans. Individuals who inherit retirement plan assets are usually required to pay income tax on them, making them some of the best assets to leave to charity.

To name Platform Bangladesh as a beneficiary on your retirement accounts:

Ask your retirement plan administrator or financial institution for a change of beneficiary form. Please list us as follows:

• Legal Name: Platform Bangladesh
• Address: [Your Address Here]
• Federal Tax ID #: [Your Tax ID Here]

Notify Us of Your Beneficiary Designation

Please let us know when you’ve made a beneficiary designation for Platform Bangladesh so that we can thank you and include you in our Legacy Society.

Other Ways to Name Platform Bangladesh as a Beneficiary

• Bank and Investment Accounts: You can leave a legacy by naming Platform Bangladesh as a Transfer-on-Death (TOD) or Payable-on-Death (POD) beneficiary on a bank or investment account. Check with your financial institution to see if this option is available to you.
• Life Insurance Policies: If you have a life insurance policy that is no longer needed for your family, designating Platform Bangladesh as a beneficiary is a simple way to support our work.
