Charitable gifts included as part of your long-range estate and financial plans can offer a wonderful way to provide lasting support to Cal Farley’s and other charities you care about. You can make a “gift of a lifetime” through your charitable legacy.
Some points to remember:
- Gifts by will or trust can be funded with cash, securities, real estate or other property.
- A gift of all or a portion of the “residue” of your estate refers to property remaining after all distributions to family and others have been satisfied.
- You can choose to give a percentage of your estate, thereby allowing your gift to increase or decrease depending on the value of the assets remaining.
- A popular gift planning tool called a charitable gift annuity enables you to make a meaningful gift to Cal Farley’s while enjoying attractive fixed payments for life, tax savings and other benefits.
- Memorial gifts are often received through an estate. A memorial can serve as an enduring and loving tribute to one or more individuals while supporting Cal Farley’s.
