Planned Gifts Help Plan for the
Future
The most basic way of planned giving is through your Will. A legal Will is the
best known way to be sure your wishes are carried out. You
actually can save extra estate settlement expenses for your family if you have a valid Will - but most of us don't
have one!
Since Planned Gifts most often need the services of an attorney or financial
professional to prepare, and most of these gifts are tied to the donor's death and estate, it's difficult to bring
up this topic. The summary below gives you a brief overview of what is considered a Planned Gift and how to use
this method to benefit your estate and Silverton Together.
Donations by Planned Gifts can be made
using:
- Appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds or real
estate property: By giving shares of appreciated stocks, bonds,
mutual funds or real estate to Silverton Together your tax deductible gift can also reduce or eliminate capital
gains taxes.
- Insurance Policy, IRA or Retirement Plan
Beneficiary: If your current beneficiaries no longer apply,
designate the policies, accounts or funds to Silverton Together. If the Policy or
account is owned by Silverton Together, it then is not included in your total Estate that is subject
to inheritance taxes.
- Charitable Remainder or Lead
Trusts: You can use cash or appreciated stocks or property to
fund Trusts that will provide a designated income source for you and/or your loved ones. Trusts can be
structured for either an immediate or deferred pay out to you or your beneficiaries over a number of years.
Silverton Together then receives either the balance of the trust or initial payments upon completion of the
Trust.
- Charitable Bequest in your
Will: You may name Silverton Together to receive a bequest
through your Will. This positively affects the inheritance taxes on your estate. You can choose to state a
specific gift amount, provide a percentage, or assign the remainder of your estate. Your valid Will should be
reviewed and updated as needed, especially if your family or financial situations change.
Using one of the Planned Giving options listed above may
positively impact your current taxes, reduce potential capital gains or inheritance taxes. In structuring all
Planned Gifts it is important for you to consult your legal/financial advisor on its deductibility or impact on
your particular financial situation. To ensure that your gift reverts to Silverton Together, we suggest the
following wording in your Will or any Trust document:
"I devise to (or Upon the Dissolution of this Trust)
(or make as
Beneficiary) Silverton Together, an Oregon Non-Profit Corporation, the sum of $_______
(or the
_____% of the Estate) (or all the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate or Trust) to be used for carrying out
its mission."
No matter what type of support you provide
for Silverton Together, your
gifts mean that the more than 3,800 students in 13 schools and a population of approximately 18,000 people each
year can receive benefits from our Parenting Program, After-school Enrichment Classes, Mentoring Program, Indoor
Park, Community Connector Program, and more. For more information on ways to support Silverton Together or how a
Planned Gift can benefit both you, your taxes and our programs, call Silverton Together at (503)
