WHY MAKE A PLANNED GIFT?
Aside from certain financial benefits, a planned gift is a profound way to leave a legacy or create a memorial. Often legacy gifts create deep meaning for the donor and leave a generation-long memory of their passion for the arts. Though benefits may vary some that would accrue to you in this lifetime might take the form of:
∴ An immediate federal income tax deduction for some or all of the value of the gift.
∴ Elimination of capital gains tax at the time of the transfer, if the asset is in the form of securities or real estate that have appreciated in value (Marketable Securities).
