Charitable Planning Tools  



Outright Gift - The simplest way to make a big difference
You can make a gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate or other assets to your community foundation. Most charitable gifts qualify for maximum tax advantages under federal law.

Charitable Remainder Trusts - Planning for the future - for you and your community
Giving through a Charitable Remainder Trust allows you to receive income for the rest of your life, knowing that whatever remains will benefit your community.   Donors transfer property to a trust that pays the donor or another beneficiary a fixed or variable income for a certain amount of time.  When the trust expires, the remainder establishes a permanent fund in the donor's name with distributions directed as he or she has chosen.

Charitable Lead Trusts - Giving Back to the community and your loved ones
Donors enable YouthBridge to receive income for a number of years in order to establish an endowment fund.  Later on, the remainder will be distributed to descendants, relatives or others.

Charitable Gift Annuities - Income for today, a gift for tomorrow
Giving through a Charitable Gift Annuity allows you to arrange a generous gift to your community, while providing yourself a new income source you can count on for the rest of your life.  A charitable gift annuity is a contract (not a "trust"), under which a charity, in return for a transfer of cash, marketable securities or other assets, agrees to pay a fixed amount of money  to one or two individuals, for their lifetime.

Bequests by Will - A legacy of giving
Including a charitable bequest in your will is a simple way to make a lasting gift to your community. When you make this gift through your community foundation, we establish a special fund that benefits the community forever and becomes your personal legacy of giving.
