Opportunities for Charitable Giving
|
Financial support from the community is a necessary part of any non-profit
organization. Easy Lift Transportation has relied upon the generosity of the local
community to sustain its service to the south coast since 1979.
Although cash donations are the first thing we often think of when charitable giving
comes to mind, there are a variety of ways of contributing to a charity in addition to
making a cash donation:
- Bequests can be made to a charity through your will or living trust,
- Appreciated securities can be donated and a tax deduction can be taken for fair
market value of the donated security,
- IRAs and retirement plan accounts can name a charity as a beneficiary,
- Annuities can be setup that provide fixed income for the donor's life. Part of the
income will be tax free to the donor. A charitable deduction can be claimed for the
portion that represents a charitable gift,
- Charitable Trusts can be established. They can be funded with cash, securities, or
other assets. The donor or other designated beneficiary receives income for the
life of the trust, and the donor receives a charitable deduction for the value of the
assets that will pass to the charity when the trust terminates.
You are encouraged to consult your tax advisor when considering making any
charitable contribution.
All donations are very much appreciated and necessary to support the continued
operations of our charitable organization. Please contact our Executive Director,
Ernesto Paredes at (805) 681-1410, or fill out the form below if you would like to
discuss some of those ways of contributing to Easy Lift Transportation. We will be
happy to talk with you and your financial advisor about the different opportunities for
charitable giving.
