A gift of real estate can unlock high charitable value. There are many ways to gift property, depending on your financial and charitable goals. Your options will provide a fair market value tax deduction and, in many cases, the avoidance of capital gains tax.
An inherited retirement plan imposes income tax obligations on an heir. Plans such as profit sharing, 401(k), or IRA are good assets to gift to a named fund since they are some of the few assets that carry inherited income tax burdens.
This vehicle permits your named fund to receive an income interest for a specified period of time. You can recommend gifts from your fund to charities once the trust ends. The trust then benefits the individuals of your choosing: children, grandchildren, relatives or others.
You receive an immediate tax deduction approximating the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy when you name the Community Foundation as the owner and beneficiary. Additionally, all subsequent premium payments made by you are tax deductible.
Avoid federal estate taxes and create a charitable legacy by maintaining ownership of your policy and naming the Community Foundation as a beneficiary. During your lifetime you have access to its cash value and if you choose, can change the beneficiary at any time.
You can establish or add to a named fund in your will or trust through a bequest to the Community Foundation. Your gift can fill any charitable aspiration, from establishing a Legacy Fund to leaving a family legacy to engage your children in philanthropy.
These options offer an income for life, while enabling you to leave a charitable legacy at a later time. Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Gift Annuities allow an immediate calculated income tax deduction and eliminate capital gains tax on appreciated gifts held over a year.
