The term "planned giving" refers to charitable gifts that require some planning before being made. Planned gifts are popular because they can provide valuable tax benefits and/or income for life.

Whether you use cash or other assets, such as real estate, artwork, or partnership interests, the benefits of funding a planned gift can make this type of charitable giving very attractive to both the donor and charity.

Potential Benefits of Planned Gifts

* Increase current income for the donor or others
* Reduce the donor's income tax
* Avoid capital gains tax
* Pass assets to family at a reduced tax cost
* Make significant donations to charity

There are many different types of planned gifts, including bequests, trusts, and contracts between a donor and a charity.
