1st step of 4: Using the worksheet here, note how much money you gave to nonprofits last year – or choose a figure that represents how much you would like to be giving. Multiply that amount by the number of years you expect to continue to live (for example, if your life expectancy is 88 and you are 48 now, multiply your giving by 40 years). The total represents your future giving.
