Legacy Giving
There are many opportunities regarding planned giving at Sidewalk Advocates for Life (“SAFL”). In some cases, your contribution may create income and estate tax benefits to you and/or your heirs. Common planned gifts used to support SAFL and provide tax benefits to you include:
- Bequests enable a person to make a contribution that may not have been possible during life. Bequests are made through your will or estate plan in two ways: 1) you may designate a specific percentage, dollar amount or asset to be given to SAFL or 2) after allocations have been distributed to your heirs and/or other beneficiaries, the remainder or a designated portion may be then gifted to SAFL.
- Life Insurance. A donor can make a substantial gift for a relatively modest outlay. By naming Sidewalk Advocates for Life as a beneficiary, you may receive a charitable deduction on your taxes.
- A Charitable Remainder Trust can be set up to provide you or a loved one with income for life with the remainder going to SAFL. In addition to the satisfaction of making a gift to SAFL, you may receive the following advantages: tax deduction savings, partial tax-free income, and possible capital gains tax savings.
- Retirement Plans are often subject to substantial income and estate taxes. Using retirement assets to make a donation and leaving other assets to heirs may enable you to give more to your heirs. Your heirs will not pay income tax on the donation nor will the donation be subject to estate tax. The donation comes to SAFL, and heirs may benefit from a reduced estate tax burden.
