Types of Planned Gifts

Bequests — This commitment made through your will is the simplest form of planned gift to make and one of the easiest to implement.

Charitable Gift Annuity — This gift of cash, property or stock can yield a guaranteed fixed income stream over the course of up to two people’s lives. Afterward, the balance passes to LaGrange College. Charitable gift annuities offer an immediate tax deduction, guaranteed income and interest rates far exceeding those available for traditional CDs.

Life Insurance — This is a simple way for donors of all ages to make a transformative gift. If LaGrange College is both the owner and beneficiary of the policy, the annual premium payments you make are treated as a charitable deduction.

IRA Rollover — Though not a “planned gift” in the traditional sense, this is a popular form of giving for donors at least 70½ years old. Approved by Congress on a year-to-year basis, this special provision allows you to roll over up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to LaGrange College without counting the transferred assets as income on your federal taxes. This rollover also can qualify as your required minimum distribution.

Life Estate Reserved — This is a transfer of your personal residence or farm to LaGrange College with the stipulation that you retain the right to use the property for your lifetime. You’ll also receive a current income tax deduction.

Charitable Remainder Trust — This is a transfer of cash or property to a trust that makes payments to you for your lifetime, or over a set number of years, before being passed to LaGrange College. If you have appreciated property producing little or no income that you would like to sell without paying capital gains tax, this is a good option.
