SUPPORT
LIMITLESS SPACE INSTITUTE
LSI is a registered IRC 501C3 organization. Email paul@limitlessspace.org for details.
There are many ways for you to impact the work of the Limitless Space Institute by making a gift. Your philanthropic support advances our mission to inspire and educate the next generation to travel beyond our solar system and support research and development of enabling technologies.
Cash Gifts
Your annual gift provides discretionary funds for allocation to new opportunities and initiatives.
Gift Pledges
A pledge is a formal statement of intent to make a gift to the Limitless Space Institute that is often disbursed over the course of three to five years.
Matching Gifts
Many corporations match or multiply their employees’ gifts. You can ask whether your employer participates in such a program to maximize your philanthropy.
Appreciated Securities
A gift of long-term appreciated marketable securities can provide you with tax advantages as well as provide the Limitless Space Institute with philanthropic support. Closely held securities in a company that is not publicly traded may provide additional estate planning and family business succession opportunities. A gift of securities may provide the donor with significant tax savings.
Planned Gifts
Planned gifts are gift arrangements that have specific tax advantages and often include lifetime income to the donor or a named beneficiary. Limitless Space Institute donors may utilize planned giving methods to enjoy such benefits as capital gains tax savings, increased income and income tax savings, while at the same time benefiting the Limitless Space Institute. A planned gift can maximize your giving potential and even allow you to ensure your future financial security or that of a loved one.
Gifts with Retained Interest
Your gift to the Limitless Space Institute can allow you to hold an interest in that gift for life, or for a specified period of years, after which the funds become available to the Limitless Space Institute. For example, you can set up a charitable trust, which allows you or a beneficiary to receive income from that trust for a specified period, or for life. You can donate your home to the Limitless Space Institute while retaining the right to live in it for life.
Gifts of Real-estate
You may claim a charitable deduction on your tax return based on the full market value of the gift, or eliminate certain costs associated with the transfer of real property when giving a home or real property to the Limitless Space Institute.
IXS ENTERPRISE
Life Imitates Art
The IXS Enterprise is an artist’s impression and adaptation of the Matthew Jefferies’ XCV-330 Enterprise concept for the Star Trek television show that conforms to Dr. White’s theoretical findings and is envisioned as an international effort at an interstellar mission late in the 21st century. Space exploration beyond Low Earth Orbit is a multi-disciplinary affair and requires trained personnel in the areas of science, engineering, and math. If you want to help move humanity beyond LEO, out to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, pursue a career in science, engineering, or math. There are no short cuts – all hands on deck!
Persistence is not futile.
Godspeed!
