The easiest and most common option for a legacy gift and it costs you nothing today.
Designate TJF as the beneficiary of a current life insurance policy or work with TJF to establish a new policy to benefit one or more organizations. This is a preferred route to a legacy gift for many young philanthropists. In addition, this option may help reduce your tax burden. TJF has matching funds available to help reduce the cost of your premiums.
If you are over age 70 1/2, this is a tax advantaged gift option, particularly after recent federal tax changes.
Cash gifts can be used to make an impact today or can be set aside and allowed to grow so you can make a greater impact tomorrow.
Gifts of real estate can help avoid capital gains tax.
Stocks, bonds, or other appreciated securities can be gifted to avoid capital gains and an immediate charitable deduction is provided based on current market values.
Transfer the deed of your home (or vacation property) to TJF, maintain lifetime use of the property, receive a tax benefit and make a greater gift than you ever thought possible.
Gift your share of property, LLCs, or partnership interests and avoid capital gains tax.
Consider naming the Tidewater Jewish Foundation as a “successor” of your account or a portion of your account value. Your designation means that TJF can make grants and distributions from the remainder of your fund to honor your desire to help your fellow community members. TJF also has matching funds available for new Donor Advised Fund holders. Click here to learn more.
