Planned Giving

Special Gifts

Those who wish to leave a lasting legacy beyond their lifetime may choose to do so through a planned gift. These special gifts are planned in the present (usually with the guidance of trusted financial and legal professionals) but are deferred for the future, allowing a donor to make a more significant charitable impact than they could through cash gifts alone. Bequests, annuities, and trusts are three of the primary planned giving vehicles. 

Special Benefits

Not only does the specified organization benefit from the donor’s generosity and planning, but the donor experiences no impact to their current wealth and cash flow and, depending on the type of planned gift, also receives specific benefits, such as special tax savings.
