Planned Giving To South Dakota Farmers Union Foundation
How Planned Giving Can Benefit YOU!
"Planned Giving" is a term not only associated with planning and giving, but with receiving as well. All gifting to the South Dakota Farmers Union Foundation provides donors with personal satisfaction of contributing to a cause worthy of their gift as well as programs that are close to their hearts. Planned gifts can also give the donor even more in return.
WHY SHOULD I GIVE?
The ideal gifting plan improves the donor's financial tax situation, basically right away. Life-income planned gifts allow you and/or another beneficiary, if you desire, to receive a lifetime income from the investment of the assets you donate.
Advantages of various gifting opportunities include current income tax deduction, avoidance of long-term capital gains, and increase in income and effective rate of return. Your heirs are also the beneficiaries of your planned giving to the Foundation, as well. Planned gifts often cut the taxes imposed upon an estate without eroding the value of the estate. This is why gift planning is a vital part of estate planning.
WHAT ARE MY GIVING OPTIONS?
Your own financial needs and those of your family must come first. With planned giving options, your needs are provided for now, and thanks to your generosity, the SDFU Foundation's needs are provided for later. Please take a few moments to discover the possibilities and opportunities available to you while sharing your commitment to our state's young people through the SDFU Foundation. The Foundation, along with your legal and tax advisors, can help establish a giving plan that suits your personal needs and fulfills your philanthropic giving desires. Please take a journey through this website to discover a giving program just for you.
