Giving Your Way


Make a gift that costs you nothing today and can be altered or revoked if your plans change
Gift Option:

Charitable Bequest: A Gift In Your Will
A bequest is simple and direct and can be changed should you want or need to do so.

Best Way to Realize My Objective…
  • Designate a specific asset, a specific sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or what remains of your estate after you’ve provided for all other heirs.

 

Make a gift that reduces current income tax
Gift Option:

Outright Gifts Or Planned Gifts
Both outright gifts and planned gifts (charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts) can reduce current income tax if you itemize your taxes.

Best Assets to Realize My Objective…
  • Cash - An easy option; check or credit card.
  • Securities - Transfer appreciated assets (stocks, bonds).
  • Real Estate - Some real estate will qualify. Talk to us. 

 

Make a flexible gift that lets you alter or revoke your gift if you need or want to change your mind
Gift Option:

Charitable Bequest
A bequest is simple and direct and can be formally changed should you want or need to do so.

Life Insurance
Designate a beneficiary now and change it later if your plans change.

Best Assets to Realize My Objective…
  • In your will, designate a specific asset, a specific sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or what remains of your estate after you’ve provided for all other heirs.
  • Make Avon Old Farms School the beneficiary of life insurance you no longer need.

 

Make a gift from your IRA

  • Gift up to $100,000 (annual aggregate limit) qualifies for favorable tax treatment.
