A greater gift

Charitable contributions can be made in a variety of ways. The most common is when an individual donor makes an outright gift of cash, stocks or property to a charity during his or her lifetime and receives an immediate income tax deduction. Other methods of giving — some simple, some more complex — are also available. Selecting the method that is right for you is a matter of working with your advisors to identify your current needs and the objectives you have for your estate.

Select the statement which best describes your situation to learn how to make a charitable gift that is best for you.

			I want to have full and unlimited access to my property until I die. I also want to receive an unlimited estate tax deduction for the property I leave to charity.

			I would like a substantial income tax benefit during my lifetime and an unlimited estate tax deduction.

			I would like to make a major gift, but I do not have a lot of money right now.

			I need to tailor my contribution more specifically to my income needs.

			I have real estate to donate to a charity.

			I want to control how charitable goals are met and I am committed to becoming an active philanthropist.
