Charitable Remainder Trust
Establishing a Charitable Remainder Trust allows significant tax advantages and generates the donor guaranteed income for life or for a specified number of years. The remaining value of the trust will fund the donor’s charitable legacy. This is an especially attractive form of giving for those with appreciated assets that are subject to considerable taxable gains if sold. This form of an estate plan can also fund a Special Needs Trust, which ensures meeting the long-term needs of a beneficiary who is disabled.
Charitable Lead Trust
A donation to a Charitable Lead Trust will generate income to fund your charitable interest for a specified number of years or for a certain individual’s lifetime. The remaining value is preserved outside of the donor’s estate to pass on tax-free to his or her heirs when the Charitable Lead Trust comes to term.
Future Gift: Will, Life Insurance, Retirement Plan
These contributions allow the donor to name Arc Herkimer as a beneficiary in his or her will, or name the organization as a beneficiary of life insurance or retirement plans. Gifts of paid life insurance policies and portions of retirement plans, including minimum distributions, can also be made during a donor’s lifetime and provide considerable tax benefits.
Gift of Appreciated Assets
A donation of appreciated assets, that might include a transfer of stocks, provides current tax advantages and avoids payment of capital gains on these assets.
