Some giving requires advanced planning
Give more than you ever thought possible
Many people like to include a charitable gift in their wills or trusts. When you combine your overall financial and estate planning with such planned gifts, you can minimize your tax burden, provide for your family, honor loved ones, preserve your family name, and reinforce your personal values. Furthermore, you can make significant charitable contributions to your favorite causes — gifts that may not be possible in your current financial position.
Do you want to:
- Avoid tax on retirement plan assets?
- Name HCF a beneficiary of this most heavily taxed asset and leave other assets to family.
- Give charitably from your estate while providing adequately for your family?
- Name Hudson Community Foundation as one of your beneficiaries
- Defer a gift until you know you will not need the resources?
- Consider a bequest in your will or trust. See Sample Language
- Supplement income for life and make a charitable gift at the same time?
- Establish a charitable remainder trust.
- Reduce gift and estate tax when passing assets on to family?
