PLANNED GIVING

Planned giving is a way to leave a lasting impact by donating to a charity through an estate plan. Planned giving options can include bequests, charitable trusts, life insurance policies, and more. By including planned giving in the overall financial and estate planning, you can ensure that your charitable intentions are fulfilled after you pass away.

WILL AND ESTATE DESIGN

Will and estate design is the process of planning how to distribute assets after one's death. It involves creating a legally binding document (a will) that outlines how the assets should be distributed and who will manage the process. Proper will and estate design is important for anyone who wants to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes and that their loved ones are taken care of after they pass away.

REAL ESTATE GIFTING

Real estate gifting is when an individual donates a property or a portion of its value to a charity. This form of planned giving provides an opportunity to support a cause and potentially receive tax benefits. It requires a proper appraisal and legal documentation to transfer ownership. Real estate gifting can be done during the donor's lifetime or through their estate plans, making it a significant way to create a lasting impact on the community.

GIFTING GRAIN AND COMMODITIES

Gifting grain and commodities is a form of giving where farmers and agribusinesses donate crops or other commodities to non-profit organizations or charities. This type of giving can provide significant tax benefits for the donor and is an effective way to support causes that align with their values. The process involves transferring ownership of the commodity to the chosen organization, which can then sell it and use the proceeds to support their programs and services.

GIFTS OF BUSINESS

As a business owner, you have the opportunity not only to build your business and accumulate wealth for yourself and your family, but also to accomplish your philanthropic goals through charitable planning. A gift of your corporate stock or assets can provide you with tax and income benefits and help further our mission.
