What if I still need an income?

How to give a gift and still have an income:

It is possible to make a legacy gift and still receive a guaranteed “paycheck” or life (or fixed period). 

You can donate cash or securities in a Charitable Gift Annuity where the remainder comes to ICC after your passing.  You receive tax-advantaged payments for life, get a tax deduction, and avoid capital gains.

A Charitable Remainder Trust also pays you for life (or a fixed period) and passes the remainder to ICC later.  You get to avoid or defer capital gains and receive a charitable deduction.

How can I reduce my tax liabilities with my gift?

Ways to Reduce Taxes with a Gift:

Many people are choosing to make gifts that reduce their taxes and make a powerful impact on the lives of ICC orphans.

IRAs and other Retirement Plans

If you are over 70 1/2, you can give up to $100,000 a year without declaring it as income.  You can satisfy the “Required Minimum Distribution” requirement without increasing your tax burden.

Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds

Donate investments that have increased in value without paying capital gains and receive an immediate tax deduction.

Donor Advised Funds

When you select ICC in your Donor Advised Fund (DAF), orphans are rescued and are allowed to live a quality life.  You get to direct which charities to which these funds are sent.

Real Estate

Donate real estate to support ICC which has increased in value.  Avoid capital gains and take a tax deduction.

Cryptocurrency

Many donors are increasingly giving cryptocurrency to make a lasting legacy.  If it has increased in value, you can avoid capital gains taxes and take a charitable tax deduction for your donation.

Charitable Lead Trust

Use appreciating assets to create a trust that will pay ICC an income for a period of years.  Then the asset passes back to you or your heirs.  This benefits ICC orphans and reduces or eliminates gift and estate taxes.
