Leave your legacy
Leave a lasting impact on humanity with our legacy giving options.
Tax-smart giving
Stocks, securities, mutual funds
Legacy giving through stocks, securities, and mutual funds allows you to make a meaningful impact while maximizing financial benefits. By donating appreciated assets, you can avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of your gift. This enables you to support the causes you care about while preserving more of your wealth for your loved ones.
Qualified charitable distributions
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) allows you to support your favorite causes while reducing your taxable income. After a certain age you can donate to Humaniti directly from your tax account, satisfying required minimum distributions without increasing your tax burden. This helps you make a lasting impact while maximizing your retirement savings.
Real estate
By donating property, whether a home, vacation house, or land, you may avoid capital gains taxes, receive a charitable deduction, and even arrange to live in your home for life through a retained life estate. This generous and strategic gift ensures that your legacy continues to support the causes you care about for generations to come.
Cryptocurrency
Legacy giving through cryptocurrency is a tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about while maximizing the value of your donation. By donating crypto directly to Humaniti, you can avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of your gift. This allows you to make a lasting impact while leveraging the benefits of digital assets.
Donor advised funds
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to maximize your impact while maintaining flexibility in your giving. You receive an immediate tax deduction while having the freedom to recommend grants to your preferred causes over time. This ensures your philanthropic legacy continues for future generations while optimizing tax benefits.
Annuities & trusts
Charitable remainder trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) allows you to support your favourite cause while securing income for yourself or your loved ones. By donating assets to a CRT, you receive potential tax benefits, avoid capital gains taxes, and enjoy regular payments for life or a set term. This helps you maximize your philanthropy while preserving financial stability for the future.
Charitable gift annuities
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) allows you to support a cause you care about while securing a steady income for life. In exchange for your gift, you receive fixed payments, potential tax benefits, and the satisfaction of leaving a lasting impact. This provides financial security while ensuring your legacy benefits future generations.
Charitable lead trusts
Legacy giving through a Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) allows you to support your chosen cause while preserving wealth for your heirs. This trust provides ongoing charitable donations for a set period, after which the remaining assets pass to your beneficiaries with potential tax advantages. By reducing estate taxes and supporting meaningful causes, a CLT helps you create a lasting philanthropic and financial legacy.
Final acts of good
Will and trust
Legacy giving through a will or trust allows you to make a lasting impact by designating a portion of your estate to support the causes you care about. This flexible giving option enables you to provide for loved ones while ensuring your philanthropic values live on. By including Humaniti in your estate plans, you can create a meaningful legacy with potential tax benefits for your heirs.
Beneficiary designations
Beneficiary designations allows you to support the causes of your choice directly from your retirement accounts, life insurance, or other assets. This simple and efficient option ensures that your gift passes to Humaniti without the need for a complex estate plan. By designating a beneficiary, you can make a meaningful impact while potentially reducing estate taxes and maintaining flexibility in your financial plans.
