• What is a Planned Gift

  Planned giving is also referred to as gift planning or legacy giving. It enables philanthropic individuals to make larger gifts to charitable organizations than they could make from ordinary income.

  
  Some planned gifts provide life-long income to donor. Other gift plans use estate and tax planning to provide for charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate.

  
  Thus, by definition, a planned gift is any major gift, made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. These include gifts of equity, life insurance, real estate, personal property, or cash.

• Examples of Planned Gifts

  • Gifts that Cost Nothing
    Include Benedictine as a beneficiary in your
    • Will
    • Life insurance policy
    • IRA or 401(k) or 403(b)
      
      
  • Gifts that Produce Income
    These are gifts that can be arranged now using assets that will eventually pass to Benedictine but from which you can draw income during your lifetime. Such life income gifts include charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. 
    
    Life income gifts can be structured to substantially increase the income you are receiving from the assets while also providing you a significant current income tax deduction.
    
    
  • Gifts that will provide IMMEDIATE Tax Savings and benefit Benedictine NOW
    A direct distribution from your IRA to Benedictine is available now for those aged 72 or older. The Tax Relief Act of 2010 allows qualified individuals to make direct distributions from traditional or Roth IRAs without incurring any federal income tax on the amount withdrawn (up to $100,000). The distribution must be made directly from the IRA to Benedictine.
