HOW CAN I GIVE TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND?
Gifts of Cash:
Simplicity and ease of giving are the reason cash is the most popular type of
endowment giving.
Gifts of Securities:
A gift of long-term appreciated securities generally results in several federal tax benefits, including income tax deductions and by-pass capital gain taxes.
Gifts of Life Insurance, Retirement Accounts and Bank Accounts:
Gifts of these funds can be very simple to make by way of beneficiary
designation.
Gifts of Real Estate:
Real estate can be given either outright or through a will or trust. Under
proper circumstances, gifts of a personal residence, ranch, or farm can be made
while a donor is living and can retain the right to live in or use them.
Gifts through Will or Trust:
A gift through will or trust can be for a designated amount, a designated percentage of the estate, a residual amount, or a specific piece of property. These gifts may have federal estate tax benefits.
Gifts for Life Income:
A variety of gifts may be made through which a condition of the gift is the right to receive an income for a term of years or life. Many of these gifts can be customized to a donor’s unique circumstances.
Proverbs 11:24-25 (NSRV)
Some give freely, yet grow all the richer;
others withhold what is due, and only suffer want.
A generous person will be enriched,
and one who gives water will
get water.
