Additional Planned Giving Options:
- Charitable gift annuities. 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. An income-producing option. The amount distributed at termination (the “remainder”) is paid to a charitable beneficiary.
- Gifts of other appreciated property. An alternative to cash. In certain instances, a gift of appreciated stock, tangible personal property or real estate, might offer attractive tax benefits.
