What will your legacy be?
- Estate and Planned Gifts - Estate giving provides substantial support for future programs. This form of giving is particularly suited to those desiring to make larger gifts thought their estates rather than during their lifetimes. The allowable estate tax deduction is unlimited.
- Wills - An estate gift to the Little Sisters of the Poor by a specific bequest in a will qualifies for an estate tax deduction. Confer with your lawyer and the Little Sisters in drafting appropriate bequest clauses.
- Gifts in Trust - Benefactors who wish to receive income during their lives while at the same time providing a significant gift to the Little Sisters should consider establishing a charitable trust. Income and tax benefits can be substantial.
- Gifts of Securities - Gifts of appreciated securities can provide special tax advantages. The simplest way to make a gift of stock is to instruct your broker or banker to transfer it to the Little Sisters of the Poor.
- Gifts of Real Estate - The Little Sisters of the Poor will accept gifts of real estate if there are no restrictions placed on selling the property. A donor can also transfer the title to a personal residence to the Little Sisters and retain the right to live in or use the property for the rest of his or her life.
