Legacy Giving
Including a gift to SOAR Special Needs in your will is a simple way to leave an enduring legacy.
■ General bequests—gifts of property taken from an estate’s general assets.
■ Specific Bequest – gifts of property, like a painting, jewelry, car or cash
■ Demonstrative bequests—gifts that come from an explicit source (such as a particular bank account).
■ Residuary Bequest – using the remainder of an estate, after all other distributions have been made and can be assigned to SOAR Special Needs.
■ Contingent Bequest is only fulfilled when certain conditions are met.
Retirement Plan Assets
Avoid tax penalties by designating SOAR Special Needs as a beneficiary of your retirement plan.
Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities provide one or another annuitant with a fixed, guaranteed income stream for life. The amount of the income is based on the age of the annuitant(s) at the time of the gift and the value of the assets used to fund the annuity. A minimum gift of $10,000 in cash or appreciated securities is required to set up a charitable gift annuity.
Deferred-payment charitable gift annuities allow you to defer receiving income from your annuity for a specified term of years. This type of an annuity is an effective retirement vehicle. Usually set up before retirement, when your income tax bracket is likely to be higher than after retirement, the annuity entitles you to an immediate charitable gift deduction at the time you make the gift. Then, when you retire and begin receiving the annuity payments, the income is likely to be taxed at a lower rate, when your tax bracket is likely to be lower than it was when you made the gift.
Securities Gift
