GIFTS THROUGH YOUR IRA A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), also known as IRA Charitable Rollover, is a provision that allows individuals over the age of 70.5 to make a contribution from their retirement account directly to a non-profit without affecting their taxable income. To learn more about QCDs or to receive suggested language to provide to your advisor, please contact Nancy Appel at nancya@scccl.org or 843-723-9895 CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS Some businesses encourage employees to make charitable contributions by matching their gifts dollar-for-dollar and sometimes as much as two or three dollars for every dollar given by employees. You or your spouse may be able to take advantage of your company’s matching gift program when making your gift. GIFTS BY WILL Bequests are contributions made through your will. A bequest may be a specific piece of property, a sum of money, or a percentage of your estate. By including the Coastal Conservation League in your will, you can establish a lasting legacy. If you would like to learn more about including the Coastal Conservation League in your estate plans, please contact Nancy Appel at nancya@scccl.org or 843-723-9895. If you have already included the Coastal Conservation League in your plans, please let us know. We would love to recognize and thank you. GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE Upon your transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to the Coastal Conservation League, we may elect either to cash in the policy immediately or hold it. You make a gift using an asset that you and your family no longer need, and you receive an income tax deduction at the same time. CHARITABLE REMAINDER UNITRUSTS AND ANNUITY TRUSTS Charitable trusts let you make a larger contribution now and continue to receive income each year from your gift. These trusts are particularly beneficial for those who hold highly appreciated low-yield investments from which a higher return is desired. CHARITABLE LEAD TRUSTS Donors can make a gift of their current income by putting property in a simple trust. The donor specifies the percentage of the total annual value that the Coastal Conservation League is to receive. At the end of a designated period, the property is returned to the donor or to the non-charitable trust beneficiaries. GIFTS FROM A RETIREMENT PLAN You can name the Coastal Conservation League as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified plan. You can designate the Coastal Conservation League to receive all or a portion of the balance of your plan through your plan administrator. The balance in your plan passes to the Conservation League after your death. This allows you to avoid the potential double taxation your retirement savings would face if you designated these assets to your heirs. And you continue to take regular lifetime withdrawals.
