A Living Legacy
- Bequests: Gifts by Will or Estate Plan
- Life Insurance Policies: Leverage cash donations by using your life insurance. You can gift a policy outright or name Piedmont CASA as beneficiary.
- Individual Retirement Accounts: If you are over the age of 70½ and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), then a gift from your account may provide the most significant tax savings of any charitable contribution. You can distribute up to $100,000 each year to your favorite charity without counting the distribution as income. At the age of 72 you must start to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA. A Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD, also called IRA Charitable Rollovers) will count towards that RMD.
- Charitable Gift Annuity: Benefit from the tax savings that result from supporting Piedmont CASA without giving up the assets that you would like your family to receive someday. A charitable lead annuity trust pays a fixed amount each year to Piedmont CASA and is more attractive when interest rates are low.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts: A charitable lead unitrust pays a variable amount each year based on the value of the assets in the trust. With a unitrust, if the trust's assets go up in value, for example, the payments to Piedmont CASA go up as well.
- Gift of a Retained Life Estate: A gift plan defined by federal tax law that allows you to donate your home or farm to a charity while retaining your right to live in it for the rest of your life.
- An outright gift: When you make a gift of real estate that you have owned longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction equal to the property's full fair market value. This eliminates capital gains tax.
- A gift in your will or living trust: A gift of real estate through your will or living trust allows you the flexibility to change your mind and the potential to support our work with a larger gift than you could during your lifetime.
