An Overview of Planned Giving Options
Eugene/Springfield area citizens and our neighbors can be proud of their charitable spirit. Our communities value the collective benefits that can be achieved through giving. Tax laws encourage the support of charitable organizations, and the tax code provides benefits that make it possible for your philanthropic spirit to be expressed in many forms. Buying an insurance policy or executing a will is neither difficult nor expensive. Yet the rewards are great, in peace of mind and in personal satisfaction. It can be as simple as 1-2-3-4.
1. New or Paid-up Life Insurance Policy Gift
By designating Pearl Buck Center as owner/beneficiary, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction that is often equal to the policy's cost basis.
2. Charitable Remainder Trust
The most versatile charitable giving tool, the Charitable Remainder Trust makes it possible to:
• bypass capital gains tax on the sale of highly appreciated assets
• generate an increase in income
• receive a charitable income tax deduction
• fulfill your philanthropic objectives
3. Charitable Bequests in Your Will or Living Trust
The best known vehicle for giving is the bequest. A bequest:
• Establishes your wishes today without relinquishing needed assets during your lifetime
• Transfers a specific asset
• Designates a percent of your estate after costs and taxes
