Did you know that Charitable Planning can help reduce capital gains taxes to zero? It is a fact that planned giving, also known as “Leave a Legacy†can benefit communities and organizations through numerous ways that provide a variety of tax saving benefits.
Through living trusts, bequests, life insurance gifts, retirement plan gifts, real estate gifts, retained life estate gifts, charitable gift annuities, or outright gifts, there are many options to support charities and non-profit organizations for years to come, while at the same time, providing you with current and future benefits.
In life, most people require some kind of assistance, whether it’s physical, financial or spiritual. Perhaps a local church congregation or food bank supplied meals during a tough time. Maybe you were given a scholarship that made the dream of college possible. You or a loved one may have been shown especially compassionate care in the hospital during an illness or injury.
And during life’s struggles, we are often reminded that more must be done to continue positive, humane acts of kindness, and to sustain programs for personal enrichment. We wish more funding were available for medical research, for domestic abuse shelters, or a treasured arts or music program.
Charitable organizations need financial assistance from people like you to continue their work. More than 80 percent of Americans contribute to the nonprofit groups of their choice throughout their lifetimes. But, according to research conducted in 2000, only around eight percent of people chose to continue this support through making a charitable bequest.
