Planned Giving

Securities
Savvy donors are always looking for ways to make their charitable dollars go further and make a difference in the causes that are close to their heart. Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual fund investments that have appreciated value is one of the best ways for a donor to give more. By taking advantage of applicable incentives, this kind of giving can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.

Charitable Gift Annuities
A great way to ensure steady income throughout your retirement years, charitable gift annuities are contracts that transfer cash, stock or other assets to SDA upon your passing, giving you a steady and predictable income for the rest of your lifetime. Plus, both you and your spouse or other member of your family can also receive payments for life. If the gift is a appreciated stock, you typically eliminate capital gains taxes on a portion of it while spreading the rest over your life expectancy.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts allow you or someone you name to receive income for up to 20 years from the time the trust is created. After 20 years or upon the designee’s passing, the balance in the trust goes to SDA. These provide a partial charitable income tax deduction, the potential for increased income, avoidance of upfront capital gains taxes, and can be professional managed.
