Planned Giving
Have you ever wished you could help us in our work?
There’s Good News!
There are ways that you can give today while still preserving your assets for retirement and providing for your family. Please contact us to learn more about the types of charitable gifts outlined below.
Here are some gifts anyone can afford to make:
Designating us as a beneficiary in your will or trust is a simple way to commit to our cause, and it will not affect your cash flow during your lifetime. In addition, it’s easy to revoke this type of gift if your situation or goals change.
Naming us as the beneficiary of a retirement plan, financial account, or annuity is another easy way to help our mission. You can continue to benefit from these assets during your lifetime. A beneficiary designation may also be changed at any time.
If you have an old, unneeded life insurance policy, you can donate it to us and take an immediate tax deduction. You can also name us as a beneficiary of your policy.
If you own securities or real estate that you no longer need or wish to sell, a gift of these assets can benefit us without impacting your cash flow. You may also benefit from capital gains tax avoidance by giving rather than selling these assets.
If you have valuable assets such as artwork, collectibles, jewelry, etc., that you no longer want or need, consider giving these assets to us and benefit from an income tax deduction this year.
Talk to us about ways to make current gifts from your business or to avoid capital gains tax when you are ready to transfer or sell your business.
If you own your home and wish to remain living there, you can transfer your home (farm or vacation home) to us while retaining the right to use the home during your lifetime. Enjoy the added benefit of an income tax deduction!
