Deferred Gifts: Hurry Up and Wait!
You may be in a financial position to
provide for the needs of your favorite charitable organization
now but prefer to save the personal benefits from such a gift for a
future time, when your own needs may change. Deferred gifts often
provide a path to the future for you and the charitable organization you
support. You can give now and benefit later.
Waiting does have its advantages,
especially in charitable estate planning. Consider this: You can
financially support our organization now and lock in some retirement
income for later years.
You can make a gift today that will
make payments to you or other loved ones in the future, using such gift
vehicles as the deferred charitable gift annuity* or the flip unitrust.
There are several gift options to
choose from—all offer the benefits of giving today but then delay the
beginning of income payments until a time more appropriate for you. You
can opt for an eventual stream of fixed payments or payments that can
vary over time.
You can defer the start of payments
for several years. You can even make one gift today or several
consecutive gifts over a period of time. The benefits of waiting are
tremendous: You receive a charitable deduction immediately, a future
income and, above all, help strengthen our cause.
Ask us about possible deferred giving
options that allow you to make a gift today and receive benefits from
your generosity now and at a later time. We look forward to discussing
the opportunities. We can help you make the wait very worthwhile in
exchange for your gift.
