Types of Planned Gifts:
Cash, readily marketable securities – particularly appreciated securities – and real estate generate immediate income for MAZON. This is the most direct and effective gift to MAZON.
You may name MAZON as beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of a life insurance policy or, if you transfer ownership of the policy to MAZON, you may receive an immediate income tax deduction equal to the policy’s cash value as well as tax deductions for the premiums you pay thereafter.
The donor has the use and enjoyment of the intended gift during the donor’s lifetime. At death, the gift passes to the MAZON Endowment and results in an estate tax charitable deduction.
Charitable remainder trusts offer excellent opportunities for donors to make gifts of appreciated assets, while retaining the right to receive a percentage of the value of the assets during their lifetime and, if desired, the lifetime of their spouse. The value of MAZON’s future right to receive the assets of the trust will be an income tax charitable deduction after the designated lifetime.
