Gifts and Contributions
Act Today for Greatest Benefit As you count your blessings this year end, act today to make your blessings count in the lives of others by taking maximum advantage of all the incentives designed to help you do so.

Gifts of Cash Through gifts of cash, it is possible to eliminate taxation on up to 50% of applicable income.

Save More Give Other Assets Gifts of certain property such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have increased in value since you have owned them can bring extra tax savings.

If you have owned appropriate assets for longer than a year, you can deduct the entire value from your income, including any paper profits you may have had in your investment.

In addition to the regular tax savings, the capital gains tax on assets given for charitable use is entirely avoided. This additional tax savings is why many people choose to make their gifts in this way and reduce tax up to 30% of their adjusted gross income.

Special rules may apply for gifts of real estate and certain other types of property.

Your gift, however small or large, is gratefully appreciated.

Time Gifts for Greatest Benefit You may find that by making larger than usual charitable gifts this year, you can make it possible to list all of your deductions rather than take the so-called "standard deduction."

Leave a Legacy Toward the end of each year, many people also review their long-range estate and financial plans. Remember that your will, life insurance, retirement plans, and other planning vehicles may offer exceptional opportunities for leaving a lasting legacy for others.

For federal tax purposes, there is presently no limit on amounts that can be removed from your taxable estate via charitable gifts. This can be a wonderful way to provide substantial gift and estate tax savings for your heirs. Some gift plans even feature increased income, tax benefits, and other welcome benefits.
