An outright gift of cash, securities or tangible personal property to the church provides the church with immediate benefits and allows the donor the joy of seeing his or her assets at work. The donor also receives an income tax deduction in the year the gift is given.
A Charitable Gift Annuity provides you (or someone else) with a guaranteed stream of income (part tax-free) for your lifetime and a partial tax deduction in the year the annuity is created. At death the remainder of the assets go to the United Methodist church or agency you selected. For a detailed example click on Charitable Gift Annuity.
A Donor Advised Fund allows you to set up your own fund at the Foundation and provide guidance for distribution of the assets over time. Provide support for your church or favorite United Methodist program in perpetuity!
A Life Estate allows a donor to make a gift of real estate to their church, receive a current tax deduction and continue to live in the house until their death. At death, the house is sold and the proceeds go to the named United Methodist church or agency.
