|
Charitable Bequest |
Just takes a simple designation in your will or trust and costs nothing during lifetime. They are easy and revocable if situation changes.
|
|
Living Trust |
Avoids probate. Just name the Temple as a beneficiary. |
|
Gift Annuity |
A simple agreement that can increase your cash flow from a gift that provides guaranteed fixed payments for life. Lifetime annuity payments, based on age may be two or three times higher than your cash return on low-earning securities or CDs. |
|
Life Insurance |
Donate policy and deduct future premium payments, or just name the charity as policy beneficiary. Individuals typically pay less than $1 for $1 of coverage.
|
|
Charitable Remainder Trust |
Great tool for selling assets tax-free and receiving income for life; the remaining assets go to the Temple. It provides steady cash flow and can be more beneficial than keeping an asset or selling it outright.
|
|
Retirement Assets |
Retirement funds paid to your kids at your passing can get hit with income and estate taxes, but are tax-free to religious institutions. Funds left to children may be hit with income and estate tax of 70% or more.
|
|
Charitable Lead Trust |
You greatly reduce or avoid estate tax on trust assets passing to family… if some trust income goes to the Temple for a few years. Trust provides generous estate and gift tax deductions for wealth transferred to family at a more mature age. |
|
Family Business Stock |
When the time comes to transfer or sell your business, there are tax and practical reasons for including a charity in the plan. Tax advisors can be very creative.
|
|
Donor Advised Fund |
Works like a "charitable bank account" – claim deduction now and decide later when the Temple will receive the funds. You can retain control and family influence over charitable dollars.
|
|
Private Foundation |
Let’s you and your family invest and control your charitable dollars.
|
|
“Lifetime Bequest” (Gift Now + Estate Pledge) |
Secures a current gift and increases potential for an even larger estate gift. A long-term pledge binding your estate can leverage donor recognition for these linked gifts.
|
|
Real Estate |
Great for making a gift and also transferring the burden of managing the property. It won’t reduce your disposable funds.
|
|
Bargain Sale |
You can sell your property at a discount, deduct the difference, and receive a lump sum or installment payments. It won’t reduce your disposable funds.
|
|
Life Estate Deed |
You can deed your home or other real property to the Temple, save taxes with a current deduction, and still use the property for the rest of your life. It won’t reduce your disposable funds.
