Planned Giving: A gift in perpetuity enhances the Forum's capabilities while allowing you to transfer more wealth to your heirs at a lower cost. Each of the following 4 methods serves a different purpose and fits a specific investment plan:

1. Charitable Bequest — to remove assets from a taxable estate and make a larger contribution than may be possible during one's lifetime.
2. Life Insurance — to gain a charitable income tax deduction for the cash surrender value and premiums of a life insurance policy.
3. Retirement Plan — to reduce the size of a taxable estate, avoid income taxation on those funds, avoid income and estate taxes, and increase the amounts passing to heirs.
4. Charitable Trust — to see philanthropy in action, making transfers to heirs at a lower tax cost and designating beneficiaries to receive payments for life or a term of years. Three types of Charitable Trusts: Charitable Remainder Trust, Charitable Lead Trust, Retained Life Estate.
