Planned Giving

Family Resources has made a long-term commitment to the community in terms of its mission and innovative programs. This commitment is underwritten by a sizable endowment and is generously supported by foundations, businesses and concerned individuals like you.

You may wish to consider making an investment in Family Resources through a planned gift.

Planned giving meets the philanthropic goals of donors while providing a way for them to maximize legal financial and tax benefits. In most cases, a donor's planned giving program is the result of a comprehensive estate, retirement and financial plan conducted under the guidance of a planned giving team. It takes into consideration the donor's tax liability, lifetime financial objectives, retirement needs, asset analysis, and risk profile.

Gifts can be given to Family Resources through the following arrangements.

Bequests:
A provision for Family Resources allows for a substantial contribution without diminishing assets during the donor's lifetime. Since bequests to Family Resources are deductible from the estate, significant tax savings are possible.

Charitable Lead Trusts:
Income is paid to Family Resources each year during the life of the trust. When the trust terminates, the assets revert to the donor or another beneficiary.

Charitable Remainder Trusts:
An irrevocable trust can be used to provide the donor or loved one with a fixed annual income or an income that varies with the value of the trust. A portion of the trust qualifies for an income tax deduction. At the death of the last income beneficiary, the assets in the trust are distributed to Family Resources and/or other beneficiaries to be used as the donor has designated.

Family Foundation:
Families retain maximum control over the foundation's assets and can fund multiple years of giving. Foundations are used to give assets not easily divisible, and they provide an organized structure for a family's charitable activities.

If considering a planned gift to Family Resources, please consult your legal and financial advisers to determine the best planned giving option for you.
