\n“Over 20 years ago Sam and I established\u00a0a Charitable Remainder Unit Trust and named\u00a0<\/span>Assistance League of Atlanta as one of the\u00a0<\/span>beneficiaries. We chose Assistance League\u00a0<\/span>because of our dedication to what the organization\u00a0<\/span>does and to provide future funding for its\u00a0<\/span>philanthropic programs.”<\/span><\/div>\n

Remembering Assistance League<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are numerous creative ways to support the mission of Assistance League of Atlanta for years to come. Such giving techniques are called “planned giving.” With thoughtful planning, you can be sure you and your loved ones will benefit as will children and adults coping with homelessness, abuse and poverty in Atlanta. You can create a lasting remembrance of the values you embrace.<\/p>\n

Almost everyone has the ability to make a planned gift. Planned giving is not just for the wealthy. According to a recent study, 33 percent of Americans are willing to consider a charitable bequest. (Michael J. Rosen, CFRE) Gifts of any size are appropriate — there is no minimum.<\/p>\n

Assistance League encourages friends and supporters to make outright and deferred gifts. The types of deferred gifts which it will actively engage in accepting and\/or encouraging include life insurance, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, retirement plan beneficiary designations, bequests, life insurance beneficiaries and other such giving vehicles as the Board of Directors may from time to time approve.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Bequests<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A bequest is a gift you direct through your will.\u00a0 It is the simplest form of giving because it can be added to your existing will with a codicil.\u00a0 It allows you to retain your assets in your lifetime and leave a larger gift than you may have given while you were alive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Life Income Gifts<\/span><\/h3>\n
Life income gifts can increase your income, provide a current tax deduction and possibly avoid capital gains taxes.<\/div>\n

Tax Implications of Leaving IRA to a Non-profit<\/span><\/h3>\n
For those who plan to make charitable gifts upon their death, naming a nonprofit organization as an IRA beneficiary can be very advantageous since the nonprofit does not pay\u00a0income tax whereas, in most cases, individuals will.<\/div>\n
