Gifts of Stock
Many people's portfolios include stocks, and many donors find it convenient to use stocks as a way of making their gifts to their favorite charitable organization. So if you're planning a gift, have a look at your stock portfolio. Those that have appreciated in value allow you to be able to potentially make a gift much larger than what you originally planned and you will benefit from the tax savings as well.
How does this Double Tax Break work? First of all, it's important to remember that any stocks that have appreciated in value from what you originally paid for them will be subject to capital gains tax at the time they're sold. That can be as much as 25-50% depending on your tax bracket.
In making a gift, if you were to sell the stock and use the proceeds as your donation, you would be forfeiting a hefty amount in capital gains tax. Instead, by donating the stock itself instead of the proceeds from the sale of the stock you will avoid capital gains tax altogether, amounting to substantial cash savings for you. And the full value of the stock will be available to use as a gift and consequently the value of the charitable deduction you claim will be higher.
Gifts of stock have become increasingly popular for donors of all ages:
The young donor saves through both the charitable deduction and the hard cash he or she is freeing up.
The middle-aged donor can create a charitable remainder trust (CRT) with donated stock and with the income received from such a CRT is able to fund his or her child's or grandchild's education. The retired donor escapes the risks of the market and by establishing a life income gift with a charitable organization, can receive yearly payouts, often larger than the return they were receiving on the stock.
Your attorney, accountant/tax advisor or stock broker can assit you in pursuring this further.
eBay, the online auction giant, allows its 69 million individual and corporate customers to assign all or part of their online proceeds to our cats.If you are a regular buyer or a seller on eBay and already have an eBay user name and password, you'll want to take just a minute to register with MissionFish, eBay's charity solution provider at Missionfish.org
If you've never shopped or sold items on eBay, it takes less than a minute to register and set up your account using the same MissionFish link above.
Once registered with MissionFish, you can search for items currently on auction that are scheduled to benefit Blind Cat Rescue and bid on these items yourself. You can also list items and designate us to receive anywhere from 10% to 100% of the proceeds from each item auctioned.
If you've been contemplating a garage sale or have items of value you feel would do particularly well on eBay, please consider helping out the cats at Blind Cat Rescue as you sell.
Leave a legacy in your will A donor can designate Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc.as the recipient of all or any portion of his/her estate; however, this can only be accomplished through a Will or other estate-planning document. Your attorney will be able to set this up for you.
Retirement Accounts
Buildings and land make excellent gifts to Blind Cat Rescue. These can be outright gifts, for which the donor may be able to take a tax deduction for the current fair market value of the property. Personal or secondary residences may be gifted as a life estate, with the legal provision for lifetime residency of the donor and spouse. In the case of a life estate, ownership interest would be transferred to Blind Cat Rescue, and the donor may be entitled to a current tax deduction. The donor and spouse could choose to continue to reside in the home as long as they live or convey the home at some time in the future. Talk to your attorney or tax advisor for more information
Life Insurance Planned gifts can have a big impact if made in the form of life insurance. There are ways life insurance might be used to benefit a charitable organization. For example, the donor might wish to take out a new policy or change an existing policy and designate Blind Cat Rescue Inc. as the beneficiary. Premiums may be tax deductible and represent a modest investment when compared to the death benefit that would be used to impact the cats at Blind Cat Rescue. For tax purposes, everyone's financial situation is unique; please contact your tax advisor.
