It is possible to secure the future for your family and arrange your financial affairs, while also making a lasting contribution to Carrier Clinic. Planned Giving is a creative approach to charitable giving that could offer significant tax and income benefits, while also giving you peace of mind. Planned Giving your way to ensure your legacy lives on.

There are many ways to include a charitable organization in your estate planning that will produce tax-saving benefits, fulfill your philanthropic goals and directly benefit the community. For example:

Simple Bequest - When creating or revising a will, many individuals plan to leave gifts, or bequests, to charitable institutions such as Carrier Clinic.

Charitable Gift Annuity - With this agreement, the donor makes a single payment to Carrier Clinic, and in return the donor and/or named beneficiary receives a fixed dollar amount each year for life.

Charitable Remainder Trust - This trust enables a donor to set aside assets now for the future benefit of Carrier Clinic, while reserving an income stream for him or her self for a pre-determined period of time or lifetime(s). When that period expires, the trust principal is transferred to Carrier Clinic.

Charitable Lead Trust - A donor can transfer assets to this trust, which will provide income payments for a period of years to Carrier Clinic. At the end of the payment term, the principle reverts to the donor and/or beneficiary.

Please note that the above mentioned ideas for creating your personal philanthropic legacy in support of Carrier Clinic are not intended to serve as legal or financial planning advice, all Planned Giving donations should be discussed and arranged with an attorney and/or a certified financial planner.
