TYPES OF GIFTS
(Illustrated above, description below.)
1
$5M Current Gifts
Current gifts are those given and received now by the Advancing the Next Generation Campaign. Examples of current gifts include cash or checks, stocks or bonds, real estate, and personal property. An outright charitable lead trust would qualify as a current gift.
2
$5M Deferred Gifts
Deferred gifts are given now but received later, often at the end of the donor’s (and the donor’s spouse’s) lifetime. The most common deferred gift is a bequest. The donor makes a provision in his or her Will to benefit the Advancing the Next Generation Campaign, but the gift is not received until the donor’s death. Similarly, a donor may leave a life insurance policy to the Campaign, either as a beneficiary, or as both the owner and the beneficiary of the policy for tax-savings results for the donors.
