Planned Giving
What is planned giving?
Planned giving encompasses a variety of ways that gifts can be made to the church from accumulated resources. It usually involves financial or estate planning; however, it is not reserved for the wealthy. Planned giving is a means by which anyone concerned with the wise use of his or her personal resources makes a considered choice about their ultimate disposition. In general, planned gifts are made through:
- A bequest in a Will
- A Life Income Gift, such as a pooled income fund, a charitable gift annuity, or a charitable remainder trust
- Gifts of Special Assets (real estate, closely held stock, life insurance, retirement accounts)
Planned giving establishes a way for a donor to provide for family members while remembering the church as well. If often enables the donor to provide more for his or her heirs and to make a larger gift than thought possible. It often reduces taxes as well. Planned gifts can be designated for an organization's general funds or its endowment. Planned gifts are either outright gifts (i.e. gifts of appreciated securities, real property, personal property, etc.), or deferred gifts (i.e. bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts).
Types of Planned Giving
A Bequest in a Will
Perhaps the easiest and most common way of making a planned gift is through your will. Yet, over 50% of all Americans do not have one. If you die without a will, the state will divide your assets among your spouse and children (regardless of their age); appoint an administrator that may cost the estate large fees; and appoint guardians, who may or may not have been your choice, for your dependants. The state makes no charitable contributions, and it will ensure that your estate pays as much tax as possible.
Life Income Gifts
Life income gifts provide you or your designated beneficiary income for life in exchange for your gift. The three most common types of life income gifts are a pooled income fund, a charitable gift annuity, and a charitable remainder trust. In the Pooled Income Fund, gifts ($2,500 gift minimum) are "pooled" with other gifts and invested in a professionally managed investment portfolio. The donor receives the following benefits:
Gifts of Real Estate, Appreciated Property, and Tangible Personal Property
Real estate or securities can be the source of your gift to the church. Using a Charitable Life Estate Contract, for example, you can deed your home, vacation home, farm, ranch, or condominium to the church and retain the right to live on the property and/or receive income from the property for as long as you live. You receive an income tax deduction when the property is deeded to the church and normally avoid any capital gains taxes when making the transfer. Your inheritance and estate taxes may be reduced at the time of your death.
Gifts of Life Insurance and Retirement Accounts
Life Insurance is another way to make a sizeable gift to the church. For example:
