Types of planned gifts
Charitable Bequest
Name the Community Foundation to receive all or a portion of your estate through your will or trust, reducing estate taxes while creating a charitable legacy.
Charitable Gift Annuity
You make a charitable gift and you and/or someone you designate can receive lifetime income. The remainder goes to ACF upon your passing, potentially reducing and deferring capital gains tax and reducing probate costs and estate taxes.
Charitable Trusts
A charitable lead trust or several types of charitable remainder trusts create valuable options in estate planning by providing tax savings, a significant gift and income for either a charity or family members.
Life Insurance Policies
Naming the Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your insurance policy enables you to create a charitable legacy without invading cash and other assets designated for your heirs.
Life Estate
Give your personal residence, ranch or farm as a gift, occupy the residence or land without disruption, and receive an income tax charitable deduction for the present value of the remainder interest.
Retirement Account Assets
Double taxation on retirement plan withdrawals decreases their value for your heirs. Consider providing other assets to heirs and naming the Community Foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement accounts. You can save taxes and preserve your hard-earned assets for the good of your community.
