PLANNED GIFTS
Wills or Living Trusts- Contributions can be made through
your will. These gifts can be cash, stocks and bonds, or
personal property. Suggested language is: I will give, devise
and bequest to the Mizell Senior Center /Endowment Fund (insert
the sum or description of property), to be used in such manner
as the Board may direct.
|
| Life Insurance- Designate the Center/Endowment Fund as
the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The benefit for you
is to make modest (when compared to the size of the gift)
premium payments and the Center receives the benefit of the full
value of the policy.
|
| Pooled Income Funds- Pooled Income Funds are the
collected funds of many donors that are put into one trust and
invested. You make an irrevocable gift to the Fund and name one
or more beneficiaries (yourself or someone else) to receive the
interest income for their lifetime. Upon the beneficiary's
death, the Mizell Senior Center Endowment Fund will receive the
remaining amount of the gift.
|
| Charitable Remainder Trusts- You make an irrevocable
gift into a Trust Fund and name one or more beneficiaries
(yourself or someone else) to receive the interest income for
their lifetime. Upon the beneficiary's death, the Mizell
Endowment Fund will receive the gift. Capital gains, income and
estate tax reductions are realized.
|
| Charitable Lead Trusts- You make an irrevocable gift
into a Trust Fund and name the Center or Endowment Fund to
receive the interest income for a specified period of time.
After this period of time, your heirs receive the gift with
estate taxes reduced or eliminated and you receive immediate
income tax reductions.
|
ANNUAL GIFTS
Membership Dues- A minimum donation of $15 per year gives
you reduced fees on the services that we charge for and
discounts at area merchants.
|
| Tributes- Gifts that are made in honor of a departed
loved one or a special occasion for a friend.
|
| General Donations- This is the most common and easiest
way for you to give. The Mizell Senior Center immediately
benefits and you receive an immediate tax deduction.
|
| Appeal Letters- Gifts made in response to a letter
asking for donations for a specific need or at a special time of
the year.
|
|
| Business Partnerships-Businesses providing services
that our 20,000 constituents use, gain exposure through
recognition in publications, on the electronic sign, and through
staff referrals.
|
| Grants- Corporations, foundations or organizations make
grants to fund specific programs or projects.
|
| Support a Service- A one-time gift to the Endowment
Fund will support the service(s) you select for the future.
|
Appreciated Assets
Eliminate capital gains taxes by giving stocks, bonds, real
estate or even a business that has grown in value. You donate
the asset, which is sold and the proceeds are the gift. You
receive the income tax deduction based upon the sales price, but
without the capital gains penalty.
