What's Right For Me?

Here are the gifts that we think might work for you and why we think they are a good match:

• Pooled Income Fund – when you make an irrevocable gift to our pooled income fund you and/or another beneficiary will receive quarterly payments for the rest of your life. These payments have a variable rate based on the performance of the market. When you fund a pooled income fund gift with an appreciated security that has been held for longer than a year, you can completely avoid capital gains tax on these assets. You also receive an immediate charitable deduction for a portion of your gift. Click here for more information about pooled income fund gifts.
• Charitable Gift Annuity – in exchange for an irrevocable gift (suggested minimum $10,000) we will pay you and/or another beneficiary quarterly payments for the rest of your life. These payments are based on a fixed rate, which is determined by your age at the time of the gift. When you fund a charitable gift annuity gift with an appreciated security that has been held for longer than a year, you can partially avoid capital gains tax on these assets. You can take an immediate charitable deduction for a portion of your gift and a portion of your quarterly income will be tax-free. Click here for more information about charitable gift annuities.
