The secret to understanding planned giving
•
0 gefällt mir•1,021 views
Planned giving can lower taxes and provide income to donors by allowing them to trade gifts for tax benefits and lifetime payments. However, planned giving options often seem complex, involving charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and pooled income funds. In reality, planned giving only does two things: lower taxes and trade gifts for income. The document provides an overview of various planned giving vehicles and how they accomplish these two objectives. It aims to simplify an area that nonprofits, donors and financial advisors should understand and use to benefit charities and clients.
