What is Planned Giving?

Planned Giving can be defined as the process of making a charitable gift, during a donor’s life or at death, that is part of his/her personal financial plan. Donors who focus on planned giving take advantage of tools and techniques allowable under the Internal Revenue Code that reduce one’s personal income tax liability or ease the burden of federal estate taxes and state inheritance taxes.

Charitable giving provides the best alternative to paying taxes. We can usually offer a charitable giving technique that will offset most, if not all, of the taxes due. This provides a way for people to control where their money will go and how it will be used rather than giving it to the IRS.
