Types of Planned and Asset Gifts are:
Bequests/Gifts by Will
Doing your Will is important; keeping it up-to-date is crucial. Many people support us through future gifts from their estates. A charitable Will Bequest allows you to make a significant donation upon your death that you may not have been able to make during your lifetime. Making a charitable bequest in your Will is an easy way to reduce taxes upon death, increase inheritances to your loved ones and make a difference in a child’s life.

Charitable Gift Annuities
An Annuity Gift allows you to make a gift and at the same time receive a guaranteed, predetermined income for life that may be tax-free. It is an ideal choice for those who may be concerned about the amount of tax that they are now paying or depleting the capital that generates their income. Annuities are high quality, guaranteed investments that provide regular payments to you and/or your spouse.

Gifts of Life insurance
A Gift of Life Insurance is easy and simple, allowing you to make a significant gift that you might not otherwise be able to give without depleting your current assets now or your estate later.

Charitable Remainder Trust & Gifts of Residual Interest
A Charitable Remainder Trust is a way of giving assets through a trust agreement and can be established by contributing bonds, stock securities, mutual funds or real estate to a trustee who then holds and manages it. You may choose a Charitable Remainder Trust because you have an asset that you would eventually like to give, but you need the income it now provides, or you do not wish to part with the asset now.
A Gift of Residual Interest is a method of giving in which property is deeded to us. However, you retain the use of the property for the rest of your life or a term of years. For example, you might give a residual interest in your cottage, but continue to use and enjoy it over your lifetime. These types of gifts are usually given by those who plan to give the property through a Will Bequest but would like to reduce tax now, without any changes in their living arrangements.
