Planned Giving
A legacy for future generations, Financial security for you

Help leave a legacy for future generations. Enjoy guaranteed income for life, tax benefits and estate tax savings. Native Forest Council offers several planned giving options to increase the benefits your gift provides the Council - and the financial benefits for you and your beneficiaries.

Bequests
Gifts of appreciated stock, real-estate or tangible property mean tax savings for you and additional benefits for the Council.

Charitable Remainder Trust
By transferring your assets to a trust, you or your beneficiary can enjoy a fixed income for life and an immediate federal income tax deduction for part of your gift. If the assets have appreciated, you can also avoid capital gains taxes.

Charitable Gift Annuity
A simple contract between you and the Council. In exchange for your gift, the Council provides you and/or a beneficiary with a fixed income for life. The annuity provides you with an immediate payout, a charitable tax deduction in the year of the gift and tax-free income on a portion of the payout.

Deferred Gift Annuity
This plan allows you to begin contributing to the Council before retirement and begin receiving a guaranteed income at the age of retirement, usually 65. You also enjoy tax savings for the year the gift is made.

Retirement Plan
You can use your retirement plan (including IRA, 401(K) and Keogh plans) to make a gift to Native Forest Council. In fact, leaving your retirement plan to the Council can save your heirs both income and estate taxes.
