Benefits of Giving Wisely

Give now, or give later?

What assets to give?

How can a gift pay you back?

Your gift to Stuart does not have to be made outright, because we offer gift plans that pay you income in return for your contribution. You can receive fixed or variable income, take payments for your lifetime or for a term of years, and direct the income to beneficiaries other than yourself. In essence, you make a contribution to us yet retain benefits from what you give away.

Your charitable deduction is based on the fair market value of the assets you give us, minus the present value of the income interest you retain. The higher the income payout, the lower the deduction.

These flexible, creative gifts address a variety of your planning objectives. For our part, the return of income allows you to consider a more substantial gift to us than you might be able to afford in an outright format. Even though we cannot use these gifts until the death of the last income beneficiary, they give us long-term financial strength that will sustain us in the future.
