Honor God — Preserve Values

With careful planning, you can provide yourself or someone else annual income while providing meaningful support to Louisiana Family Forum.

Charitable Gift Annuity
In exchange for cash, stocks or other assets, by contract, you or a loved one receive fixed income at an attractive rate of return. A portion of the gift will benefit Louisiana Family Forum.

Charitable Remainder Trust
You contribute assets to an irrevocable trust. These assets are invested by you, and you or a loved one receive income from the trust. The remaining assets benefit Louisiana Family Forum.

Benefits of gifts that pay income:

• Receive income payments.
• Obtain a charitable deduction for a portion of the value of the gift.
  Save on capital gains taxes when you contribute appreciated assets.
• Convert low- or non-income assets into a gift with an attractive income stream.

You can maximize Kingdom impact, save taxes and experience the joy of generosity.

Outright: In addition to cash, you can make an outright gift of real estate, business gift, a paid-up life insurance policy or other property of value directly to Louisiana Family Forum.

Stocks: If you currently write checks to support Louisiana Family Forum, but also have appreciated stocks or mutual funds, you can significantly reduce the cost of your charitable gifts while giving more by gifting stock before the sale.

Charitable IRA Rollover:  If you are over 70-1/2, you can make a tax-free distribution from your IRA directly to Louisiana Family Forum.

Donor-Advised Fund: Instead of writing checks directly to Louisiana Family Forum, you can manage ALL of your charitable giving with a Donor-Advised Fund – which works like a charitable checking account. You give assets into the Fund (cash, stocks, real estate, etc.), receive an immediate income tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your church and Louisiana Family Forum when timely. This is a great tool for windfalls, inheritances and year-end business profits.

Benefits Of A Lifetime Gift:

• Receive an immediate tax deduction.
• Save on income, capital gain, gift, and/or estate taxes.
• Experience the joy of the investment being put to good use during your lifetime.

These gifts ensure future generations will benefit from your generosity and legacy.

Bequests: You can designate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to Louisiana Family Forum in your will or trust.

Testamentary Charitable Giving:  Naming Louisiana Family Forum as your Giving Fund at the National Christian Foundation and as a beneficiary of your estate through a will, trust, insurance policy, or retirement plan is a strategic way we can help you give beyond your lifetime.

Endowed Gifts: If you make annual gifts and wish to continue support after your lifetime, you can arrange an endowed gift through a Donor-Advised Fund or your trust.

• Distribute your assets according to your wishes.
