According to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, February 24, 2011, “charitable trusts, gift annuities, and other large gifts will get a significant boost this year and next year.” For several reasons, now may be the perfect time to look into setting up a charitable lead or remainder trust or a charitable gift annuity, not the least of which is that the opportunity may not exist for long. In December Congress made big changes to the estate tax for 2011 and 2012 that may very well be rescinded in 2013. Among the changes was a large increase in the maximum amount an individual can pass tax-free to his/her heirs without paying a gift tax ($5 million versus the former $1 million). Estate tax rates were also lowered considerably, from 45 to 35 percent; and Congress extended the provision that individuals 70 1/2 and older may give charities up to $100,000 tax-free from their individual retirement accounts. These changes, coupled with historically low interest rates, are providing many with the impetus to set up charitable trusts (lead or remainder) or charitable gift annuities. Each vehicle is tailored to provide attractive options for donors, whether the goal is to receive a lifetime income, provide for heirs, or reduce the tax burden, all the while benefiting a favorite charity or charities. Please contact your financial advisor or CVI’s Development department, at (404) 602-4321 if you are interested in learning more about charitable giving options - and why now might be the right time to create your CVI legacy.
