Tax-Wise Giving Strategies
Although there are many giving strategies that can enhance your charitable legacy, here are some that particularly benefit from the Faithful Journey Foundation’s management and insight:
Donor Advised Fund
With the passage of the SECURE Act, the “stretch” IRA is no longer available for your heirs. For those hoping to leave a legacy of giving and reduce death taxes, naming a Donor Advised Fund as a beneficiary of your IRA is a great option. This strategy will not only eliminate all the potential taxes due upon the disbursement of your IRA assets, but it will create a tax-free donation pool that can influence future generations by bringing them together to determine which charities to bless.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust is a “split interest” giving vehicle that allows you to receive an income for life, support charity at your death, and gain tax benefits today. Contributions to the trust are eligible for a partial tax deduction and escape up-front taxes on gains upon sale within the trust.
Non-Cash Gifts
By donating long-term, appreciated assets such as stocks, real estate, and business interests before a sale, you can reduce taxes on the portion you keep and make an even bigger charitable impact.
A Smarter Way to Give
You may dream of giving more to the charities you love, but it often seems out of reach. With non-cash giving, it’s possible. By transferring part or all of your asset to the Faithful Journey Foundation before the sale, you eliminate the initial tax hit that normally accompanies such a sale. After the transfer, we liquidate the asset at the right time. The net proceeds are used to bless causes you love.
