Each charity listed accepts donations through planned giving (sometimes called charitable gift planning). Since planned giving opportunities differ slightly in regards to charities and foundations, and because tax laws change frequently, it is recommended that those considering donations through planned giving consult a Professional Advisor. This resource was created for several reasons. Along with promoting philanthropy at a local level, we also want to encourage community members to seek professional advice in regards to estate and tax planning. Charitable giving can generate significant tax benefits in both annual and estate tax situations - and many people are not aware of these opportunities.
