You can help make Arkansas the healthiest, safest place to be a child. Many of these gifts offer tax benefits now, and some can even reduce the tax burden on the loved ones who inherit your estate.
Stocks and Securities
When you give stock or securities (stock, bonds, mutual funds), you may be eligible for a double tax benefit: 1) You receive an income tax deduction for the full, present, fair market value of the assets and 2) you may completely avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of the assets. This is one of the easiest gifts to give and one of the most useful in accomplishing your philanthropic goals.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, an IRA, or a tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to give. A gift of these assets can shield you or your heirs from taxes while supporting Arkansas Children’s Foundation.
Life Insurance
Transfer ownership now:
To make an impact on our mission today, you can irrevocably name Arkansas Children’s Foundation as both owner and beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy. If the policy is paid up, you may receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction, generally based on the lesser of its value or what you’ve paid into it.
If the policy still requires premiums, you can contribute cash to Arkansas Children’s Foundation to cover them, and you may claim a charitable deduction for each payment in the year you make it.
Name us as a beneficiary:
You can name Arkansas Children’s Foundation as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your life insurance policy. The proceeds come to us after your lifetime, and because the designation is revocable, you can change it at any time.
This gift is easy to arrange. Request a change-of-beneficiary form from your insurance company, or update your beneficiaries online if your insurer offers that option.
Personal Property
A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support Arkansas Children’s Foundation. The tax benefits of the gift depend on whether Arkansas Children’s Foundation can use the property in a way that is related to its mission. Contact us to learn more about this type of gift — we would be happy to help you find the option that best fits your philanthropic goals.
