Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) are a great way to support KCU while generating income for yourself and your family. Learn how these gifts allow you to achieve both of these goals.
You can make a substantial impact through KCU while you are receiving tax-favorable income for you, your spouse, and your children. Many supporters like charitable gift annuities because of their attractive payout rates and their significant impact.
Benefits to you include:
Payments can be made as you prefer on an annual, quarterly or monthly basis
A portion of the payout will be tax-free.
You receive an immediate tax receipt for a portion of your gift.
Your gift passes to KCU outside of the estate process.
You create your legacy of changing health care for good.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is a tax-free trust that pays you and/or other beneficiaries an annual distribution. This payment is either a percentage of the annual value of the trust, or a percentage of the original gift amount.
How it works:
- You transfer cash or an appreciated asset* into an irrevocable trust.
- The trustee then sells the asset, paying no capital gains tax, and reinvests the proceeds.
- For the rest of your life (or a term of years), you and/or another beneficiary receive payments from the trust.
- After your lifetime, the remaining principal is used to support the mission of KCU.
Benefits to you include:
- You receive income for life for you or your heirs.
- You receive a charitable income tax credit for the charitable portion of the trust.
- You create your legacy of shaping tomorrow’s leaders in medicine.
*While donating real estate is the most common way to fund a charitable trust, a wide variety of assets can be used, including cash, appreciated publicly traded or closely held stock, as well as oil, gas or mineral interests.
