Planned gifts are a critical component in philanthropy. By definition, a planned gift is any major gift, made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. These include gifts of cash, appreciated securities/stock, real estate, artwork, partnership interests, personal property, life insurance, a retirement plan.

The benefits of funding a planned gift can make this type of charitable giving very attractive to both donor and charity. Some planned gifts provide life-long income to donor. Other gift plans use estate and tax planning to provide for charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate.
