Gifts for every occasion – made in honor or recognition of family and friends at times such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day; at the birth of a child or grandchild; or on a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or other notable occasion – can be gifts of love that show how much you care.
Consider:
Gifts of Cash: Gifts of cash and by check or credit card are the most popular methods of memorial giving. Such gifts are convenient and can be tax deductible.
Other Property: Memorial gifts may also be funded with assets such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have increased in value. You not only receive regular tax savings, but you entirely avoid the capital gains tax on qualified assets given for charitable use. This extra tax benefit is one reason why a growing number of people choose to make memorial gifts using property other than cash.
A Living Legacy: Consider the following ways to leave a legacy in memory of a special friend or loved one.
- A gift included in your will or living trust can establish a lasting legacy.
- A gift of excess retirement funds, such as pension plans or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), may allow you to give more while eliminating taxes that may otherwise largely deplete these assets.
- Gifts of life insurance that has fulfilled its original purpose may offer excellent tax benefits. Policies that you purchased to protect a loved one who no longer needs that protection can be an excellent way to make a gift in honor of that person.
- Gifts that provide an income can be a tax-effective way to provide Gleaners Dispatch, Inc. with regular income for life or a certain period of time. Check with your legal and/or tax advisor(s) for more information.
