Tax-Smart Charitable Planning Strategies That Marry Passion and Purpose
“With the stock market hovering at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to evaluate which charitable planning strategies can help donors maximize impact via their estate planning.” – Vance Barse
PFs
“Family foundations are often best for donations of $1 million or more when the family serves as the primary research and/or charitable board.”
DAFs
“Donors receive a deduction of up to 30% of AGI by donating highly appreciated non-qualified assets and a deduction of up to 60% of AGI for donating cash.”
QCDs
“Typically, QCDs are considered by taxpayers who must take their required minimum distributions (RMDs) and have charitable intent.”
CRTs
“A CRT pays an income interest to an individual (or individuals) for a term of years or lifetime, with the remainder of the assets passing to a charity.”
CLTs
“A CLT offers an estate tax freeze and comes in two flavors: reversionary (grantor lead) and non- reversionary trusts.”
CGAs
“A CGA is established with a charity, such as the Red Cross, whereby the donor makes a charitable donation in exchange for a lifetime annuity.”
