Sell and Donate the Difference

Life Insurance and IRA Accounts

Donors who wish to leverage their cash donations to charity can use life insurance to accomplish their goal. By either gifting a policy outright or naming a charity as beneficiary, they can provide the charity of their choice with a large sum of money and provide a lasting legacy for a cause they believe in. Donors should consider the use of charitable riders on their cash value insurance policies to provide at least a small gift if possible. Using your IRA to make a charitable donation can help you lower your tax bill

Donate Your Required Distribution

IRA Required Minimum Distribution

You can use your qualified charitable donation to meet all or part of your IRA's required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Traditional IRA owners must start taking RMDs at age 70½ or face tax penalties. The CC Taylor Foundation must receive your donation by December 31 for you to apply it to that year's tax return..

Sell and Donate the Difference

Bargain Sales

A bargain sale is the purchase of property (securities, real estate, etc.) for less than its fair market value. In such case, the difference between the fair market value and the sales price constitutes a charitable gift. Thus, the donor/seller is able to recoup some cash, perhaps equal to their investment in the property, and use the balance as a charitable gift.

Transfer without Tax Liability

IRA Charitable Rollover

Taxpayers age 70 ½ or older can transfer up to $100,000 annually from their IRA accounts directly to the CC Taylor Foundation without first having to recognize the distribution as income.

Create a Legacy

Endowment

Endowments are donations, usually of money or other financial assets, made to the CC Taylor Foundation with the sole intention of investment to earn additional income, and can thus last in perpetuity. Endowment funds often come with caveats stating how much of each year’s income can be spent by the foundation.

Making Wishes Reality

Wills and Bequests 

One of the easiest ways for creating an equipping leaders ministry legacy that makes a transformational impact is to include CC Taylor Foundation in your Wills and Living Trusts. This Revocable gift only requires one sentence:

“I hereby devise and bequeath [percentage] of my estate or specific security or property, or residue/remainder to the Reverend Charlie E and Cinderella S Taylor Sr Foundation, federal tax ID #01-0872212, a nonprofit corporation in the state of Mississippi, for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose or to establish an endowment. ”

Following Your Instructions

Payment on Death or Transfer on Death Payment or Transfer of Bank/Stock Accounts or Real Estate

By establishing a Transfer on Death (TOD) or Payable on Death (POD) provision, you can transfer assets without the expense of a will or trust. A TOD is generally only used for investable assets, such as securities, bonds and mutual funds. A POD is very similar to a TOD, but is used for savings accounts, money market accounts and CDs.

Through a TOD or POD arrangement, you can bypass the delays and costs associated with probate and qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction. You do not have to work with an attorney or accountant to prepare or revise a will that names The CC Taylor Foundation as a beneficiary. You will need to notify  the manager of your financial institution and complete the necessary designation forms.

Annuities

Charitable Gift Annuities

You make a financial gift to The CC Taylor Foundation and in return receive annual payments for life from the foundation. It is an agreement established with The CC Taylor Foundation that allows individuals to transfer assets to the foundation in return for a partial tax deduction and a fixed income for the donor's lifetime. After the donor dies, the foundation keeps the remainder of the gift.

Retirement

Retirement Accounts

Instead of gifting your retirement assets during your lifetime, you may designate the foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement account. Under this option, the foundation – not you – will be treated as receiving the distribution; therefore, neither you nor your estate will owe income taxes on the amount. While the amount will be included in your taxable estate, your estate will receive a deduction for the amount inherited by the charity, resulting in an offset of the estate taxes.

Trusts

Charitable Lead Trusts 

A charitable lead trust works by donating payments out of the trust to charity, for a set amount of time. After that period expires, the balance of the trust is then paid out to the beneficiary. While this reduces the taxes owed by the beneficiary, once they inherit the remaining balance, it also presents them with other potential tax benefits, such an income tax deduction for charitable donations, and savings on estate and gift taxes. Additionally, it sets up a continuous way for the beneficiary and benefactor to make charitable contributions, without having to manually issue monthly payments.

Unitrusts

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts

A charitable remainder unitrust is an estate planning tool that provides income to a named beneficiary during the grantor’s life and then the remainder of the trust to a The CC Taylor Foundation. The donor or members of the donor’s family are usually the initial beneficiaries. The trust provides variable income to the beneficiary, which is based on a percentage of the fair market value of the assets in the trust. This amount is revalued each year.

This type of gift is usually funded with a valuable asset, such as artwork, a house, stocks, bonds, or other property. Additional assets can be added to the trust over time. So that the trust is not simply used to avoid taxes, the federal government requires that The CC Taylor Foundation receive at least 10% of the asset’s value.

Annuity Trusts

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts 

A Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust is a type of gift transaction in which a donor contributes assets to a CC Taylor Foundation trust which subsequently pays a fixed income to a designated beneficiary, in the form of an annuity. The value of the annuity is calculated as a fixed percentage of the initial value of trust's assets, but that amount must be no less than 5%.

This arrangement lasts until the donor passes away, at which time any funds remaining in the trust are then donated to a The CC Taylor Foundation pre-chosen by the donor.  This type of gift offer a sense of reliability, in that their beneficiaries enjoy a guaranteed income stream every year, where the amount received never fluctuates--regardless of the trusts' investment performance. For example, a gift with an initial value of $4,000,000 and a 5% payout would pay $200,000 annually to the income beneficiary, regardless of the returns of the underlying assets and economic conditions.
