Overview
| What is Planned Giving? |
|---|
A planned, or deferred, gift is a type of charitable gift that requires some planning, usually with the assistance of a financial advisor and development officer. A donor may fund his or her gift with cash or other assets. Either way, the benefits of a planned gift can be very attractive. When you create a planned gift, you would potentially increase your current income, reduce taxes, avoid capital gains tax, pass assets to family at a reduced tax cost, and make a significant donation to a charity, like Cincinnati Children's Hospital Foundation. Planned gifts include bequests, trusts, real estate, charitable gift annuities, and retirement assets. To determine the most favorable method of making a gift, the donor, the charity, and the advisor need to take into account the donor's personal, philanthropic, financial, and tax objectives. |
