Bequest
Perhaps the simplest form of planned giving and the vehicle most commonly used. The donor makes a provision in his or her Will or Living Trust for a gift to the Davie Community Foundation.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
Designating the DCF as the beneficiary of an IRA is an excellent way to make a gift to charity, using an asset that otherwise might be heavily taxed (up to 80%) as part of the Donor’s estate.
Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
Allows donors to place an asset, such as cash, securities or real estate in a trust, which is then sold and invested. Gifts to a CRT are tax-deductible and no capital gains tax is paid when the securities or real estate are sold. A Charitable Remainder Trust provides income to the Donor, or a loved one for life, after which the Trust goes to the DCF for a purpose the Donor has specified.
Charitable Lead Trust (CLT)
Pays income to the DCF for a set term of years, after which time, the Donor (or his or her heirs) receives the assets. A CLT allows the Donor to pass the gifted assets to his or her heirs with a substantially reduced gift or estate tax burden.
Life Insurance
The Donor names the DCF as the owner and beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy, and receives a current income tax charitable deduction. The Donor may also name the DCF as beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy and receive an estate tax deduction upon his or her death.
