Non-Cash Gifts
Greater tax benefits may be found in donating non-cash gifts. Donations may included appreciated assets such as property or investments. It's important that such assets be transferred directly to the foundation, not sold. If you do this you will receive the full value of the asset as a deduction and pay no capital gains or tax.

Legacy Gifts
Commit a portion of the wealth you have created over a lifetime to give back and be used to benefit your community for generations to come. Legacy gifts can be either cash or non-cash assets. A will is necessary, so we urge you to have your attorney work with the foundation to maximize the benefits to the community, your estate and your family.
