Make A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from a Traditional IRA.
As one of the highest-taxed assets for many people, charitable gifts from an IRA make an excellent tax-planning tool. Even though Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from a traditional IRA do not start until age 73, you can begin making Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) up to $100,000 at 70 ½.
Real Estate
Land, vacation homes, commercial properties and primary residences offer an excellent charitable gift and tax planning tool.
If Appreciated: Making a gift of real estate can help your clients avoid capital gains taxes.

Estate Planning
At the Community Foundation, we can accept a wide variety of giving options that can be included in your estate. Our experienced team can work with you to guide you through the process.
Options include:
- Include a Gift in a Will or Trust (Sample Bequest Language)
- Charitable Gift Annuities
- Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Charitable Lead Trusts
Retirement Plan Assets
Retirement plan assets are subject to both estate tax and income tax. By designating a portion or all of the proceeds of their retirement assets to establish or designate a fund at the Community Foundation, you can reduce the potential tax burden these can cause for your heirs.
Life Insurance
A gift of a life insurance policy allows you to make a charitable gift without a significant outlay of cash.
Retained Life Estate Gifts
You can donate a personal residence, vacation home or farm to a fund at the Community Foundation while retaining the right to live there for the remainder of your life or a specified period of time. This allows you to receive an income tax deduction and simplifies the administration of your estate.
