Additional Options
Intriguing alternatives that may fit your personal circumstances.
- Appreciated Capital Assets to CVM Just as with stock and other publicly-traded securities that have increased in value over the years, direct transfers of other appreciated capital assets owned at least one year and a day can result in impressive tax benefits. Realistic examples include transfer of real estate and interests in a business, such as a veterinary practice.
- Dual-benefit Gifts to CVM There are several types of dual-benefit gifts you can arrange to provide support for CVM, yourself, or others. Three examples are listed below.
- A charitable remainder trust makes payments to one or more individuals for life or a term of up to 20 years before distributing its assets to CVM.
- A charitable lead trust works in the opposite manner than a charitable remainder trust, making annual payments to CVM first and then distributing what remains to you or your heirs.
- Through a retained life estate arrangement, you can deed to CVM a dwelling – or a farm – where you currently reside while continuing to live there as long as you wish.
Each of these giving methods offers various tax and financial advantages and can also help you simplify your affairs.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration regarding how to manage and distribute the assets God has given you. CVM is here as a resource to help you and your professional advisors plan to leave your legacy. For more information, please contact Donor Services at info@cvm.org or (206) 905-8462.
