Your Benefits |
||
You want to make a gift for witf’s future that costs you nothing now. |
You include a gift from your will or trust to witf. This can be cash, specific property, or a share of your estate. |
You provide resources that help witf build financial strength and carry out our mission. |
||
You want to avoid capital gains liability and get an income tax deduction. |
You can use appreciated securities instead of cash to make a gift to witf. |
In some circumstances, giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash and you won't pay capital gains tax on the transfer |
||
You want to contribute to witf and leave more of your estate to your heirs. |
You name witf as beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your assets to your family at a lower tax level. |
You can avoid potential double taxation by eliminating income tax on retirement plan savings, and free up other property to pass to your heirs. |
||
You want to continue to receive benefits back from the assets you give to witf. |
You create a life-income plan like a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder annuity trust or charitable remainder unitrust. |
You'll recieve income for your lifetime, receive a charitable deduction, and diversify your holdings. |
||
You want to reduce high tax liability now and gain additional income later. |
You establish a deferred gift annuity. |
Your deferral of payments permits a higher annuity rate, generates a larger charitable deduction, increases your ability to make a significant gift to witf. |
||
You're trying to create a long-term gift that won't draw funds from your estate. |
You create a new life insurance policy, or donate a paid-up policy of coverage you no longer need ti witf. |
This increases your ability to make a significant gift to witf. |
||
You want to reduce the level of gift and estate taxes and leave more of your assets to your heirs. |
You create a charitable lead trust to pay income to witf for a fixed time, then pay the remainder to your heirs. |
This reduces the gift and estate taxes and freezes the taxable value of growing assets before they pass to your family. |
