The Advantages Of Making Gifts To Charity

Giving cash or other property to charity through a trust can accomplish many personal and financial planning objectives simultaneously. Among the many reasons are that charitable gifts can:

• Enhance your own (and your family's) financial security
• Enrich the lives of others
• Increase your retirement Income
• Eliminate some or all capital gains tax
• Result in a safer investment portfolio
• Reduce investment management aggravation
• Provide financial security for incompetent family members
• Increase your income tax deductions and lower your tax
• Assist the charity of your choice (rather than some politician's)
• Substantially reduce death taxes and probate expenses in your estate
• Provide a lasting tribute and honor to you or a selected family member
• Assure you, your family, and the charity financial privacy - if you want it - or significant and positive publicity for you and your family or business
