CANADA & U.S. PLANNED GIVING

Giving to those who need education and helping to bring hope through Christ-centered teaching: these allow us the joy of seeing many young lives transformed by the life-giving message Christ followers bring into society. As we give generously of ourselves and witness what God does with our gifts, we discover the reward of being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Appreciated Securities

There are considerable tax benefits available if you give stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and property directly to charity. You will receive a tax receipt for the market value of your donated assets and will avoid paying capital gains taxes-a double benefit.

Fill out the form on Link Charities website.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A charitable gift annuity is an agreement under which you donate a capital sum to a registered charity and in return, the charity guarantees you regular payments at an attractive rate for the rest of your life. An immediate tax receipt for a portion of the gift and a portion of tax-free income based on age are attractive benefits as well. Here is the link to Link Charities present annuity rate chart: Annuity rate chart

The Annuity requires no management:

All or a large part of your Gift Annuity is exempt from income tax.
There is an immediate, one-time charitable receipt available for at Least 20% of the capital amount.
At the end of your life, when you no longer require payments, the remainder of the Gift Annuity capital becomes an immediate, direct gift for your favorite charities.

Each of these planned giving options needs careful attention and prayerful consideration. By taking advantage of the attractive financial services offered by Link Charity Canada, you can further the work of TeachBeyond while being a good steward of the financial resources God has given you.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is an excellent estate planning tool and can be used to create a significant gift to TeachBeyond. It can also be used, along with the RRSP charitable giving, to balance out estate planning, allowing you plan for a tax-efficient legacy to your family.

Registered Retirement Funds

The tax advantages of a RRSP generate significant benefits during a person’s lifetime, but eventually the taxes have to be paid. These taxes can be so high that up to half the amount can be lost as the funds are passed on to family at the end of one’s life. Designating a charity as the beneficiary can be an efficient way to help with tax planning, allowing the charitable receipt to cancel out the tax to be paid and offering you an opportunity to give to a charity.

U.S. Planned Giving

Giving Appreciated Securities

The gifting of appreciated securities which have been held for at least a year and increased in value since the time of purchase, allow you to receive a charitable receipt for the fair market value, avoiding capital gains tax.

Giving from your IRA

With favourable tax laws, many donors who are 70.5 years of age and older are using their Individual Retirement account (IRA) to give to charity. You do not receive an income tax deduction with this donation, but you will not pay taxes on any distributions made.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A CGA allows you tax-advantaged income based on your age, which cannot be outlived, allowing you to give to TeachBeyond with the remainder of the gift annuity capital at the end of your life.

Life Insurance

A life insurance policy can be gifted to TeachBeyond during life, allowing you a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the policy.

Donor Advised Funds

DAF’s are a simple and inexpensive alternative to a family foundation, allowing you to give over your lifetime or after death, providing you with an immediate charitable deduction.
