Making charitable contributions is an art – a creative process that adapts to the changing needs and wishes of the donor. Planned giving enables a donor to arrange charitable contributions in ways that maximize his or her personal objectives while minimizing the after-tax cost.

Depending on the asset given and the gift arrangement selected, as a donor you can generally expect to obtain some or all of the following benefits:

• Fulfill philanthropic goals o Reduce income tax through charitable deduction
• Avoid capital-gain tax on gifts of long-term appreciated property
• Retain a stream of income for life for yourself and/or other beneficiaries
• Increase spendable income
• Eliminate potential federal estate tax on property passing to charity at death
• Reduce costs and time in estate settlement

You should consult with your own tax and legal advisors for a full discussion of the tax implications of particular gift plans.
