Philanthropy & Gifting

You have a generous heart. You want to see maximum impact. With an appropriate gifting strategy, you can.

What is Gift Planning?

Making gifts is more than just transferring cash. Gifting could really involve transfer of property, so long as its intended as a gift. For example, you might give:

  • Stocks/bonds/investment funds

  • Real estate

  • Trust income

  • Annuity income

  • Cars or trucks

  • Business interests

Gift planning ensures that of all your assets, you're giving in the most efficient manner personally and most efficient to the recipient.

Why should I care?

You want to help someone or some cause special to you. You may be able to give more than you thought possible based on certain tax laws and property laws.

​

By not considering these laws, you might not just be missing out on deductions, but you could also end up paying a gift tax!
