Planned Giving Programs

- Reduce your estate tax burden
- Provide an income for those significant in your life
- Enhance your retirement or estate plans
Some options to consider:
- Charitable Bequest
- The most common type of "planned" gift is a bequest provision in a will, or a charitable designation in a revocable living trust.
- Beneficiary Designations
- A beneficiary designation on a life insurance policy or qualified retirement plan or other similar asset allows you to name a charitable beneficiary.
- Charitable Remainder Trust
- A charitable remainder trust allows you to increase your income, bypass the capital gains tax, receive a current income tax deduction, and make a charitable gift.
- Charitable Lead Trust
- A charitable lead trust allows you to transfer property with great potential for appreciation to family members at very low tax cost and provide a regular income stream for your favorite charity.
- Life Estate Reserved
- A life estate agreement allows you to donate your home or other real estate, receive a current income tax deduction, and continue to live in your home for life.
