What type of gift would you like to make?

I want to make a gift now.
You may give cash, stock, real estate, personal property or other assets. An outright gift accomplishes three important tax objectives: 1) a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift, 2) the reduction of your gross estate for future estate tax purposes and 3) the elimination of capital gains taxes for gifts of appreciated property.

I want to give through my will.
A bequest is a simple way for you to make significant, lasting gifts to the Baptist Student Foundation, while possibly reducing the federal estate tax and inheritance tax due at the end of your lifetime. Consider leaving a percentage of your estate to the Baptist Student Foundation in your will.

I want to receive income now as well as help Baptist Student Foundation causes.
A charitable gift annuity can be established now and you will receive income for the remainder of your life. You will receive a partial tax deduction in the year of the gift. The residual of the annuity will benefit the Baptist Student Foundation.

I want to donate my Individual Retirement Account (IRA)/ Retirement Plan or Life Insurance Policy.
You can simply name the Baptist Student Foundation as the beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan. Advise the Baptist Student Foundation of your decision, stating by letter your charitable distribution wishes. In like manner, you can designate the Baptist Student Foundation as your life insurance policy's beneficiary, and your gift will be distributed according to your written intentions.

You have many tax-advantaged options for giving that can reflect your unique situation and particular wishes.
