For Individual and Families
Individuals and families can benefit through charitable planned giving programs. By incorporating a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) or a Charitable Installment Bargain Sale (CBS) into your overall retirement and estate plan, you can achieve an immediate tax deduction and, when funded with appreciated assets, enjoy a partial elimination of capital gains. You are also creating a fixed income stream that will not fluctuate as a result of market conditions.
These programs also allow you the opportunity to reposition existing assets including real estate, securities, annuities and CDs, in order to create a structured payout for your heirs and beneficiaries. You should consult with your Professional Advisor to identify the most appropriate program which best fits your personal needs and desires.
At NCF, we also recognize that there are many worthwhile charities which may be important to you and your family. Therefore, through a Charitable Endowment Benefit, you can recommend an immediate charitable contribution to your favorite church or charity.
