Leave A Legacy Gift

There are several creative ways to support Pine Forge Academy Foundation.

While outright gifts are most immediately helpful, donors may also make a contribution through their estate plans.  As a result, donors may enhance financial security for themselves and their families, while also making a substantial commitment to strengthening the future of the Foundation’s Educational Scholarship Program.

Planned giving, sometimes referred to as gift planning, is a method in which your support enables you to make larger financial support rather than from your income.   As a donor to the Foundation, your planned gift can be established to provide for charity that use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for a gift and/or minimize its impact on your estate.

Whether you donate using cash, appreciated securities/stock, real estate, artwork, partnership interests, personal property, life insurance, a retirement plan and other methods of substantially supporting Pine Forge Academy Foundation.  The benefits of funding a planned gift can make this type of charitable giving very attractive to both you and the Foundation.

What are the Tax Benefits of Planned Gifts?  

• Donors can contribute appreciated property, like securities or real estate, receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset, and pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
• Donors who establish a life-income gift receive a tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the assets contributed, minus the present value of the income interest retained; if they fund their gift with appreciated property they pay no upfront capital gains tax on the transfer.
• Gifts payable to charity upon the donor’s death, like a bequest or a beneficiary designation in a life insurance policy or retirement account, do not generate a lifetime income tax deduction for the donor, but they are exempt from estate tax.
