Bequest
This is the most popular type of Planned Gift. A bequest is a gift made through a will or living trust and is usually a percentage or dollar amount of an estate that goes to a nonprofit after the donor’s death. Supporters can often make a larger gift in their will than they can during their lifetime, creating a powerful legacy of peace.
Charitable IRA Rollover (Qualified Minimum Distribution)
If you’re 70½ or older, consider making a charitable gift annuity or transfer up to $111,000 annually through an IRA Charitable Rollover (QCD). Contact your IRA administrator to initiate the gift.
Life Insurance and Retirement Plans
You can choose to designate a portion of all of your Life Insurance or IRA/401 (k) or other retirement plans to a non-profit. It may provide the opportunity to make a larger gift, and heirs benefit as well since both are exempt from estate tax.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity provides you a fixed income payment for life in return for transferring an irrevocable gift of cash or securities. While providing for yourself and your family, you can make a lasting impact to create peace in the world. You also qualify for tax benefits, including a federal income tax deduction, when you itemize. Make your Charitable Gift Annuity today through Friends Fiduciary.
