How Your Planned Gift Can Help First Things—and You

You can use any number of tax-advantaged financial tools to support First Things and advance its work to shape the public debate, while at the same time returning benefits to you and your family. For instance, you can:

• make a tax-free gift from your IRA.

• donate appreciated securities to First Things, which could cost you less than the tax deduction you would receive.

• make First Things a beneficiary of your will, revocable trust, or retirement plan—costing you nothing during your lifetime.

• donate assets that you no longer need or want, such as an art collection, a second home, land, or a life insurance policy.

• realize tax advantages by selling to First Things property at a charitable discount or deeding to First Things your home while you continue to live there.

For more information about these and other planned-giving vehicles, please contact your tax advisor or attorney. If you then decide to proceed and would like to discuss the possibility of a planned gift with First Things, please contact us.
