It involves a contract between a donor and a charity, whereby the donor transfers cash or property to the charity in exchange for a partial tax deduction and a lifetime stream of annual income can generate immediate income and offer considerable tax savings for you. A gift of appreciated stock enables you to avoid capital gains taxes while the full value of the gift is invested in our programs. Our staff can help you plan a gift that works for you.
