Gifts of Appreciated Assets
The IRS tax code provides numerous incentives for donor’s philanthropy. Gifts of appreciated assets offer significant opportunities for tax savings. Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds, Insurance Policies, IRAs and Deferred Annuities can all be gifted to advantage.
Life Income Gifts
Those who hold cash or appreciated assets but still need income from them can benefit from a variety of structured life income gifts. The gifted property is put in trust or pooled. The donor receives income during their lifetime. Later, the assets support St. Mary’s Center. The donor can receive both income tax and estate tax savings from the arrangement.
Post Retirement Plans
Assets held in a retirement plan are subject to future income taxes. Designating St. Mary’s Center as a beneficiary for retirement funds at death can provide both income tax and estate tax savings.
Bequest
Helping others through St. Mary’s Center can also be as simple as a will bequest by designating the Center as the beneficiary for all or part of a trust, an IRA, insurance or retirement plan. Your gift would help people in perpetuity.
