Other Ways of Giving
Bequests
Bequests are provisions in your will or revocable trust that designate how your assets will be distributed after your lifetime. Charitable bequests can eliminate or reduce federal estate tax and are among the most flexible ways of giving because you have the option of changing your mind at any time. Bequests can designate a specific dollar amount or specific item or can be expressed as a percentage of your residuary estate.
Beneficiary Designations
Designating Touro as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, insurance policy, or other financial account is one of the easiest ways to realize your charitable goals while continuing to enjoy the benefits of your assets during your lifetime. You may also benefit from significant tax savings by avoiding both estate taxes and income taxes in your estate. As with bequests, you may change your mind at any time.
IRA Rollover Gifts
If you are already age 70 ½ or older, you are eligible to take tax-free gifts to Touro directly from your IRA account with no taxable income. Additionally, these gifts also qualify towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) – saving further on any taxes you might been required to pay as a result of your RMD. The current law allows you use this tax-wise method for up to $100,000 a year to qualified charities of your choice.
