Donors

Whether you’re happily retired, recently retired or still in your working years, a charitable giving component built into your overall financial plan can have significant income and tax benefits. Legacy Global integrates charitable giving strategies for donors that use charitable planning and gifting to maximize donor benefits including:

  • Increased income
  • Maximum tax benefits
  • Security for heirs
  • Establishment of a charitable legacy

 

Who is a candidate for planned giving?

If one or more of the following situations apply, Legacy Global can show you how you may benefit from planned charitable giving:

  • Selling an appreciated property, investment or business
  • Large IRA or 401(k) and an otherwise taxable estate
  • No children (or when the children already have an acceptable inheritance)
  • Taxable estate – to capture funds otherwise lost to taxes for social security
  • Fixed income investment alternative
  • Need income tax deduction for other planning purposes
  • Planning for Medicaid spend down requirements
  • Highly compensated – putting away tax deductible funds for the future
  • Creating cash flow from unproductive or under-productive asset
  • Fund asset replacement life insurance premiums
  • Reducing the cost and compliance overhead, and improving the tax benefits of Private Foundations

In addition to meeting specific financial needs, an integrated charitable giving plan can also assist with:

  • Establishing charitable intent and other giving objectives
  • Retaining family influence and accountability for the charitable use of funds
  • Passing family values and mission to future generations
  • Protection from elder abuse or exploitation
