  • Common questions about contributions to foundations
    • Goal: I want to make an immediate charitable contribution and realize the maximum tax benefits for myself and my heirs.
    • Method: Make an outright donation of cash or appreciated assets.
    • Goal: I want to make a gift but I need all of my assets to maintain my current lifestyle.
    • Method: Include an outright bequest to the NSGA Foundation as part of your estate plan. This can be done through a will or a trust assigning certain assets to the NSGA Foundation as the beneficiary.
    • Goal: I need to receive an income from my assets for the rest of my life, or for a period of time, but I want to make specific gift plans now that will provide me with some immediate tax benefits.
    • Method: Establish a Charitable Lead Trust with the NSGA Foundation receiving the current trust distributions and your heirs receiving the trust principal plus growth after a period of time.
    • Goal: I’ve heard that my children may only inherit a small portion of my retirement plan assets. I want to pass as much of those assets on to them as possible.
    • Method: Establish a Testamentary Charitable Remainder Unitrust with the NSGA Foundation using your retirement plan assets.

Deferred gifts of significant assets, such as gifts of cash, appreciated stock or property or other assets are a remarkable legacy for ongoing support of NSGA Foundation and its mission.
