Designate the Clubs as a full or partial beneficiary of your qualified retirement plan (IRA, 401(k), 403(b)) using a beneficiary form. Avoid possible taxes for IRA or retirement plans left to non-spousal relatives by naming the Clubs as the beneficiary.
IRA Charitable Rollover
Are you 70 ½ or older? You can direct up to $100,000 of your required minimum distribution (RMD) to charity and pay no income taxes.
What if you could support the Clubs while also making your own retirement more financially secure? You can, with a special gift that can pay you income for life, reduce your tax burden and help kids in your community. While it might sound complicated, it’s really quite simple.
Gift Annuities
Transfer cash or appreciated property to the Clubs and receive fixed income payments for life, receive immediate charitable deduction and avoid capital gains tax on sale of appreciated property.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Transfer appreciated property to an irrevocable trust and receive an immediate charitable tax deduction, avoid current capital gains taxes on long-term appreciated property and regular payments through your life. Upon death remaining assets in the trust transfer to charity.
Charitable Lead Trusts
Transfer appreciated property to your family for the future through an irrevocable charitable trust. You designate the trust to exist for a specific number of years or until death. Charity receives an annual contribution and at the end of the term or death, the assets will pass on to family or friends as beneficiaries. Careful planning makes it possible to reduce – or eliminate- taxes normally due to transfer of wealth to loved ones.
