What is Planned Giving? A planned or deferred gift is a major gift that comes from sources other than current spendable income. Bequests, gifts of insurance, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and pooled income fund contributions are all examples of planned gifts. A planned gift is generally part of a total estate plan and is based on total assets. Planned gifts are not new. Over the last hundred years, millions of dollars have been pledged or left to the Red Cross by people who wanted to support its ongoing humanitarian work.

Five Distinct Benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity

1. Personal Satisfaction - it feels good to make a gift of lasting significance to aid those in your area.
2. Payments for Life - Income is a fixed rate of return and remains constant for life.
3. Tax Deduction Savings - A large part of what you transfer may be tax-deductible.
4. Tax-Free Payments - A large part of your annual payment is tax-free return of principal.
5. Capital Gains Tax Savings - When you contribute appreciated securities fr a charitable gift annuity, you minimize taxes on your "paper profits."
