Cash:

Funding a specific program, sponsoring a position or deserving group, or assisting us with daily operations with cash is one of the simplest ways to give and receive a tax deduction.

Bequests:

These are provisions in your will or revocable living trust that designate how your assets will be distributed after your lifetime. Charitable Bequests can eliminate or reduce federal estate tax and are one of the most flexible ways of giving: you have the option of changing your mind at any time. You may also be pleasantly surprised at the peace of mind that comes with completing your estate plan. Through your will or revocable living trust, you can specify that some or all of your assets come to us after your lifetime and which program or initiative you would like to support. After your lifetime, the asset(s) you specify will pass to us and your estate can take a charitable deduction for the amount of your bequest.

Name a Beneficiary:

Simply designating the KBC as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, insurance policy or financial account is one of the easiest ways to realize your charitable goals while continuing to enjoy the benefits of your asset during your lifetime. And you may benefit from income tax savings and reduce or eliminate federal estate tax. As with bequests, you may change your mind at any time.

Insurance Policies:

When your family’s needs change and you no longer feel you need a life insurance policy, designating the KBC as beneficiary or sole owner of your policy is a simple, tax-efficient way to give. After your lifetime, the benefits from your policy pass to us free of federal estate tax.

Outright Securities:

Gifts of long-term appreciated stock or mutual funds offer a quick, easy, and tax-efficient way to support the KBC, avoid capital gains tax, and receive an income tax deduction. You can take an income tax deduction of up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. The excess can be carried forward for up to 5 years.
