Gift Planning, Have you started yet?
What are the 3 types of planned gifts?
First, outright gifts that use appreciated assets as a substitute for cash;
Second, gifts that return income or other financial benefits to you in return for your contribution;
Third, gifts payable upon your passing to your favorite charity.
What gift plans return income to donors?
Charitable gift annuities make fixed payments, starting either when the gift is made (an immediate-payment gift annuity) or at a later date (a deferred or flexible gift annuity). Some organizations maintain pooled income funds, which commingle donations, pay beneficiaries variably depending on the earnings of the fund, and generally operate like a charitable mutual fund. Charitable remainder unitrusts and annuity trusts are individually managed trusts that pay the beneficiaries either a fixed percentage of trust income or a fixed dollar amount.
