Social Infrastructure in your Will, Life Insurance, and/or Estate Plans by contacting a Philanthropy Advisor at: development@fundingimpact.org.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a contract between a charity and a Donor in which the Donor irrevocably transfers assets to the charity in exchange for the payment of a fixed sum to the Donor for his/her lifetime. The Donor may subsequently name up to two beneficiaries to continue receiving this fixed sum throughout their lifetimes. This may be a great option for donors with appreciated assets they would like to move outside of their taxable holdings.

Charitable Lead Trust​

A Charitable Lead Trust is an irrevocable agreement in which a donor transfers assets to a trust that creates an income or lead interest for a charity. A charitable lead trust is a powerful charitable planning tool used to generate charitable deductions for income, gift, or estate taxes.

Charitable Remainder Trust

A Charitable Remainder Trust is a tax-exempt trust that can liquidate an asset to create two interests: income interest and remainder interest. This approach is especially beneficial for philanthropic individuals who are subject to paying capital gains taxes on appreciated assets, whose estate is subject to estate taxes, and who needs sustained income over time periods.

Pooled Income Fund

A Pooled Income Fund is an irrevocable trust maintained by a Public Charity. All donations from a number of Donors are combined and invested together to generate funds for distribution to charitable organizations. A pooled income fund offers a great opportunity for individuals with high philanthropic ambitions but lesser amounts to contribute.

Pooled Special Needs Trust

Often utilized by parents, caretakers, and trustees for wards of the court, a pooled Special Needs Trust generates funds for individuals with disabilities. Assets contributed by multiple donors are combined and invested together, with funds being spent on individual beneficiaries in proportion to their share of the total amount.

Private Foundation

Private Foundations may be started by individuals, families or corporations. A private foundation is established as a tax-exempt entity that can receive contributions as a charitable organization qualified under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. A private foundation works well for Donors who wish to receive a current income tax deduction, and who may wish to use the Foundation as the charitable recipient of distributions from various private sources.

If you’re driven to fund impact with actionable results, We can help with that.
