Planned giving: A vision for the future
Inter Pares has worked to promote social justice for nearly three decades, developing long-term relationships of common cause with people and organizations around the world. We seek to nurture the same quality of relationships with our supporters here in Canada.
Financial and moral support from our donors is invaluable – to us and to our counterparts in this work. Whether they wish to give to our program now, or to sustain our programs in the future, many of our supporters are interested in sharing their current wealth and are interested in various planned giving options, each with different tax considerations.
Planned gifts can be made using cash, securities, life insurance, RRSPs or RRIFs, or other assets of value. It is called “planned giving” because you can plan when to make the gift, as well as the time most beneficial to take the related tax savings. Since capital gains tax is no longer applicable on gifts of listed securities donated to Canadian charities, appreciated stock has been an attractive giving option, as you can receive a tax receipt for the appreciated value but not have to pay tax on any capital gains.
All of these methods of giving can also be done either now or through a bequest, with tax benefits for your estate.
