| Leave A Legacy Be sure your giving lasts forever...while you significantly reduce estate and inheritance taxes Many CCF donors, who are personally involved with their giving, have decided to make plans to support their favorite charities after they are gone. Historically, less than 7% of Americans leave charitable bequests in their wills, while nearly 80% are charitable during their lifetime. With the inordinate transfer of wealth ($42 billion) anticipated within the next 25 years, those statistics are changing. There are many ways to maximize your gifts to charities and your beneficiaries through thoughtful bequests in your will. The two basic ways include:
Outright Bequest - You may bequeath a specific item, a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of your estate. We always advise our donors to consult with their advisors to determine the types of assets that are best given to charity and best given to heirs. Residual Bequest - You may bequeath the remainder of your estate to CCF after your specific inheritance provisions for your family and other heirs have been funded. Contingency Bequest – You may bequeath a gift under certain terms or conditions, e.g., only if you outlive your spouse. Charitable bequests can be carefully designed to permit the most favorable tax treatment under a variety of circumstances. Honor Roll of Legacy Builders Those listed below have planned for the needs of others by including bequests and planned gifts that will support charitable programs after they are gone.
