Understanding the Importance of Gift Planning
Planned giving allows anyone to make a substantial contribution to Church of Christ Care Community — regardless of income or financial status. It is a way to level the playing field, giving everyone a chance to become a philanthropist and make a difference. And it provides significant financial benefits to you as well.
- Donor Advised Funds (DAF): "Donor Advised Funds have become a popular way to give to charities. We welcome contributions from DAFs and appreciate your support."
- IRA Donations: "Donations after retirement from IRA funds offer significant tax benefits and are an excellent way to support our cause. Many American families use their RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) to donate."
Ways to Give
Donors are able to make significant planned gifts that benefit our benevolent care ministry. We work with donors to create gifts via wills, named endowments, charitable trusts and charitable gift annuities. A brief description of these planned gifts is provided below:
Bequests
By naming Church of Christ Care Community as a beneficiary of your will, it not only costs nothing to you but can also significantly reduce the real estate tax for your heirs. Our staff will be happy to work with you and your advisors to create the proper language to leave a meaningful bequest to ensure that our benevolent care work continues.
Named Endowments
The funds are established for the purpose of providing support for people, programs and facilities in perpetuity. The principle of an endowment gift is invested and a portion of the annual interest earned is used to support the purpose selected by the donor.
Property Gifts
Whether a principal residence, vacation home, farm, commercial building, subdivision lot, or land, you may gift the property or a fractional interest in the property to Church of Christ Care Community. Doing this will allow you to claim a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the real estate while avoiding capital gains taxes on appreciation. All real estate gifts require prior approval by Church of Christ Care Community Executive Management.
Cash Gifts
Quick and simple, you may use your credit card to make a gift online or donate over the phone, by mail, or wire transfer.
Gifts of Stock or Securities
Gifts of appreciated shares of marketable securities are valuable for allowing Church of Christ Care Community to continue its mission while serving as a significant tax advantage for you.
Life Insurance Gifts
Make a large gift with very little cost. By making Church of Christ Care Community the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you receive immediate and future income tax deductions for the total premiums paid or the fair market value of the policy.
IRA Charitable Rollovers
If you are at least six months over 70, directly transfer up to $100,000 per year tax free from your IRA account to Church of Christ Care Community. Many people find that giving their annual RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) is an excellent and convenient way to make tax free gifts.
