Not sure where to start? Here is a list of the most common charitable gift planning opportunities.
Most Popular Planned Giving Vehicles:
- Bequests by will or trust are simple ways to make a big difference.
- Gifts by beneficiary designations is also a straightforward and inexpensive way to make a gift from retirement assets, life insurance policies, financial accounts, and Donor Advised Funds.
Additional Planned Giving Options:
- Charitable gift annuities is an income-producing option. In exchange for a gift (transfer of cash, marketable securities, or, in some cases, real estate), a charity contractually guarantees to pay you and/or another beneficiary a fixed income for life.
- Charitable remainder trusts are an income-producing option. The amount distributed at termination (the “remainder”) is paid to a charitable beneficiary.
- Gifts of other appreciated property are alternatives to cash. In certain instances, a gift of appreciated stock, tangible personal property or real estate, might offer attractive tax benefits.
