Overview - Estate and Planned Giving
Planned giving allows you to maximize your income tax deduction, reduce your estate tax burden, and provide income for those significant in your life. Planned gifts typically come from a donor’s assets rather than income and can be either outright or deferred. Because each of these methods has specific tax advantages, we recommend you consult your personal financial and legal advisers.
