Planned Giving - An Option for Philanthropy
Americans will transfer at least $41 trillion between 1998 and 2052, according to a study by the Social Welfare Research Institute at Boston College. At least $6 trillion of that funding will be bequests to charity, according to authors Paul Schervish and John Havens. Many of those bequests to charity will be “planned gifts.” Planned giving, once called deferred giving, refers to any charitable gift that requires more thought and planning to execute than the average donation. Planned giving has been traditionally defined as the gift that an individual makes near the end of his or her lifetime. There are many kinds of planned gifts from simple bequests in a will or estate plan, to annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, pooled income, life insurance and life estates. This workshop will present some of the most frequently used planned giving techniques and the benefits to the donor and the charity.
