Gifts of Property, Life Insurance, Annuities, Wills or Bequests*
There are different ways to support Corpus Christi both today and in the years to come, via planned giving. Families can make gifts of real estate, personal property, automobiles, life insurance, estate bequests, annuities or charitable remainder trusts. For substantial gifts of property other than marketable securities, the IRS requires an appraisal.
Gifts of Stock*
Make a bigger impact by donating long-term appreciated securities, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to the Honoring Our Past, Building Our Future Capital Campaign. Compared with donating cash or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and tax deduction.
IRA Contributions*
An IRA owner, age 70½ or older, can directly transfer tax-free up to $111,000 per year to an eligible charity. This option can be used for distributions from IRAs, regardless of whether the owners itemize their deductions.
To qualify, the funds must be transferred directly by the IRA trustee to the eligible charity. Distributed amounts may be excluded from the IRA owner’s income — resulting in lower taxable income for the IRA owner.
* Please confirm current tax law with your tax advisor or the IRS
