Planned gifts help generous individuals make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate.

Gifts of Life Insurance
Don’t throw that life insurance policy away!
Couples with very young children often purchase a life insurance policy as extra protection for their families, just in case something happens to dad or mom, the breadwinner is no longer able to work, or something catastrophic occurs. After the children are grown, what happens to the policy? Often, nothing at all. It is common for the policy to be put in a file drawer along with other important documents and forgotten.

Deferred Gift Annuities
Give Now, Increase Your Retirement Income Later
If you are still working, we hope you have a plan in place to build up the value of your retirement account. That plan could include pre-tax contributions you are making to a retirement plan at your place of work; matching contributions from your employer; as well as contributions to a Roth IRA or other retirement plan. All of these have annual limitations on the amounts that can be added. Those limits might get in the way of your plans to build a healthy retirement account that will support you financially in your later years.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust Can Customize Your Contribution!
There are several gift plans with FCNL Education Fund that pay you lifetime income in return for your gift. This is the inside story on the two most flexible of those plans in our portfolio: the Charitable Remainder Unitrust and the Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust.
