Planned Giving
A gift through your estate plan to the Edgerton Hospital Capital Foundation
is a meaningful way to ensure that the hospital and care center are able
to fulfill their missions.
Planned giving options provide planning strategies and flexibility that
may minimize tax implications:
- Reduce your income taxes
- Avoid capital-gain tax
- Increase your spendable income
- Retain payments for life
Gifts of Cash or Assets
The simplest way to support the Foundation is through cash gifts. However,
you may also want to consider gifts of stocks, bonds and property (real
estate & personal property).
Gifts by Bequests
In a Will or Trust, you can identify specific gifts to be given. In
addition to supporting the Foundation, your gift also reduces estate taxes
by the full amount of the gift. You may wish to designate the use
of your gift for any project or program.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A Charitable Remainder Trust is a gift to the Foundation with a retained benefit, i.e. it pays income to you (the donor) or your heirs for a specific period of time (maximum of 20 years or a lifetime). At the termination of the Trust, the remainder is retained by the Foundation. For you, the donor, this type of agreement saves income, estate and capital gains taxes. Even if property has not appreciated, you can transfer it to a specially designed charitable trust and receive the income from the trust for your life and the life of a surviving beneficiary. An income tax charitable deduction, avoidance of capital gains tax on future appreciation is readily available.
Charitable Lead Trust
This trust, in the form of principal from an individual, is invested by the Foundation for a specific number of years, during which the earnings are donated to the Foundation. However, the donor is obligated to pay income tax on the earnings received by the Foundation as the donor has made an “incomplete” gift, i.e. a “retained benefit.” At the termination of the trust period, the principal reverts to the donor or other individual of the donor’s choosing.
Retained Life Estate
You can transfer your personal residence or farm to a charitable organization
and retain the right to occupy the property until death. This type
of arrangement qualifies for an income tax charitable deduction.
Charitable Gift Annuities
have become quite popular in the last few
years. They often provide partially tax-free payments to the annuitants. If
funded with highly-appreciated property, they can provide capital gain income
as well.
The donor transfers cash or other property to the Foundation in exchange
for a commitment by the organization to pay the donor a specified amount
each year during the remainder of the donor’s life. This transaction
is both an acquisition of an annuity and a charitable contribution.
