Making the Most of Your Gifts
Thank you for considering a gift to the Demonstrative Need Scholarship Fund. We offer several methods of giving to fit your current financial, tax, and estate planning needs. Outlined here are some of the more common methods used by donors to make the most of their gift and tax savings.
"Outright gifts" include gifts of cash, appreciated securities, closely-held stock, real estate, personal property, life insurance, trust income, and gifts through a charitable lead trust. These "outright gifts" are gifts that you can make today.
Deferred gifts can be arranged for now to be received over time. This method of giving can often allow you to make a much larger gift than you may have thought possible while providing numerous tax benefits. A deferred gift can often provide an income for the rest of your life and/or the life of a loved one.
