Getting Something Back: Gifts That Provide Lifetime Income for Donors
Speaker: Jeff Davine
Many donors think that charitable giving consists of writing a check to the donor's favorite charity. Educating donors on the many alternative ways of benefitting a donor's charity of choice is an important task for planned giving professionals. These alternatives include gifts where the donor can receive a benefit in return (in addition to a charitable contribution deduction). This presentation will focus on giving options such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and residential (and farm) remainder interests and the advantages and restrictions associated with each of these life income gift vehicles.
