Other Ways of Remembering NH Children's Trust

  • You can name New Hampshire Children's Trust as the beneficiary of your insurance policy.

  • You can name New Hampshire Children's Trust as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.

  • If you are age 70 ½ or older, and you do not need the "required minimum distribution" from your IRA account, you can make a direct gift from that account to New Hampshire Children's Trust, and you will not need to declare that distribution as taxable income.
