PLANNED GIVING

A planned gift allows you to participate in the success of future generations of women and children while meeting your own important financial and personal objectives.

Our financial and legal advisors offer ongoing seminars to keep you current on the tax advantages and considerations of planned giving. You may explore opportunities appropriate to your individual situation, interests, and needs in a seminar or in a one-on-one consultation.

Wills and Living Trusts
The most common way of making a planned gift to Acres is through a bequest in your will or living trust. Bequests are simple to arrange, offer flexibility, and can reduce estate taxes. With a willed gift or living trust, you retain full use of your gift property during your lifetime, while earmarking a significant future gift to Acres.

Appreciated Securities
Transfer appreciated securities instead of writing a check! By doing so, you may avoid the tax due on the capital gain AND you may receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the security.

If you give stock with a fair market value of $1000 for which you paid only $100, the "cost" to you for making the gift is only $100! Plus, you may be able to deduct the full $1000 from your income tax, thereby reducing your "cost" even further.

Life Income Plans
A life income gift offers a way to make a gift to Acres of Diamonds that provides you with benefits such as an immediate income tax deduction, life income, and avoidance of capital gains tax. Some common forms of life income gifts include charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities.

Retirement Plan Assets
In many cases, donating some or all of the assets from your IRA, 401(k), pension or other qualified retirement plan to AOD either during your lifetime or upon death can be a smart option — your estate can save both income taxes and estate taxes if you make Acres of Diamonds a beneficiary.
