GIVING LATER

Philanthropy, done thoughtfully, means a lot more than merely writing a check. It can ensure your continuing support for causes you care about, in perpetuity. When combined with careful estate planning it can ensure that your personal resources are put to use in ways that accomplish both your financial and charitable goals.

You can take advantage of several strategies designed to help you make charitable gifts while enjoying tax benefits and preserving economic security for yourself and your loved ones. Some examples are:

Bequests, which enable you to put a future plan in place and may reduce your estate taxes while supporting your community. READ MORE INFORMATION

Charitable gift annuities, providing you with a fixed amount of income annually for life. After your lifetime, a fund is established in the Community Foundation to support your charitable interests. READ MORE INFORMATION

Charitable remainder trusts, which allow you to receive income (or provide income for another person) with the knowledge that the funds remaining when the trust terminates will be used to support your charitable interests. READ MORE INFORMATION

Gifts of life insurance, which can be used as a charitable asset, thereby enabling you to be eligible for a charitable tax deduction based on the current value of the paid-up policy. READ MORE INFORMATION

Gifts of retirement plan assets, which can be used to support your charitable interests while achieving significant tax advantages for your heirs. READ MORE INFORMATION
