Benefits of Planned Giving
You can design a planned gift in many ways that benefit you, your family and organizations that make a difference.
- Make gifts that “give back” to you. Receive a steady income stream with a charitable gift annuity.
- Keep control of your assets during your lifetime while making a gift in your will that provides an estate tax deduction.
- Eliminate tax on capital gains and receive an immediate deduction of full market value with a gift of long-term appreciated stock or securities.
- If you are 70 1⁄2 or older, avoid the penalty created by higher income with a tax-free QCD.
- Leave more for family by making a gift from the most highly taxed assets — avoiding income tax and reducing estate tax with a gift from in your retirement plan assets.
- Make a gift with little cost to yourself while receiving a current income tax deduction by gifting a life insurance policy you no longer need.
