Many companies will match or multiply gifts made by employees and sometimes spouses and retirees as well. Ask your employer if they participate in a matching gift program, if they do, send us the form along with your gift and we will fill out the form and send it back to your employer. The Good Knight Campaign recognizes gifts made in memory or honor of a friend, family or community hero, or, to acknowledge a birthday, graduation, anniversary or other significant event. Memorial Bricks to be displayed at The National Zumwall of Peace are tax deductible and fitting gifts for champions from all walks of life. You obtain a tax deduction for the full market value of the gift and you may avoid a tax on the increase in value.
Securities are also excellent for establishing a planned deferred gift to the charity.
The Good Knight Child Empowerment Network, Inc.'s Planned Giving Program provides a variety of ways to make a planned contribution that does not deplete assets over a lifetime. Bequests A gift provided for in your will may be a percentage of your estate, the residual of the estate, a certain item or a specific dollar amount. Real Estate A gift of real estate provides considerable tax benefits. You also have the option of retaining the right to occupy the property for life or even receive income it generates. A gift of life insurance allows you to contribute a previously acquired policy, that may no longer be needed for its initial purpose, and realize tax benefits.
