What Could You Have Done?
It's that season again. No, not winter or spring or baseball season. Rather, that dreaded season we call "tax season". If you have noticed that your taxes are higher this season, what gifting strategies might have you used to reduce your taxes and be able to support your favorite ministries. There are many gift planning strategies and tools you might find useful this year to minimize a repeat of last year. Here are just a few offered by the ELCA Foundation: charitable gift annuities and charitable trusts that can provide both favorable income and tax deductions to you; donor advised funds and life estates that also provide significant tax deductions. These are just a few of the tools. For more information about these tools and other gifting strategies that benefit your heirs as well as your church, contact our ELCA Regional Gift Planner, Greg Shepherd or 909.910.6823.
Please contact your own tax professional for advice on utilizing these type of gifting tools.
