Any gift you make to New Jersey Conservation Foundation
(NJCF) involves an element of planning. Giving is something
you think about and do because you care about NJCF and its
mission.
Planned Giving is a broad term that refers to the type of
asset given (for example stock, cash, or land), the way a
gift is made (for example bequests or annuities), or a deferred
gift. Choosing the giving instrument that best suits your
needs can enhance your financial well-being while ensuring
NJCF’s long-term ability to preserve New Jersey’s
natural resources for the benefit of all. Plus, your gift
is 100% tax deductible!
There are several ways you can support NJCF with a planned
gift:
Charitable
Gift Annuity
NJCF, in conjunction with the Community Foundation of New
Jersey, is now offering charitable gift annuities as an option
to donors. A charitable gift annuity enables the donor to
receive a life income while making a significant planned gift
to NJCF. In choosing the charitable gift annuity, the donor
makes an irrevocable gift to NJCF, through the Community Foundation
of New Jersey, and in return, receives a fixed income for
life based on the donor’s age at the time of the gift.
The donor may also benefit from tax savings through a charitable
gift deduction. A portion of annual annuity payments are also
tax-free. NJCF receives the remaining principal of the gift
upon the death of the beneficiary, ensuring the future preservation
of New Jersey’s natural resources.
Bequests
Millions of Americans do not have a will. Unfortunately, upon
the death of the individual, the state determines the disposition
of his or her assets. Therefore, a will is critical to ensuring
that the people and organizations you care about are the beneficiaries
of your assets. There are several types of bequest gifts;
no matter which is chosen, designating NJCF as a beneficiary
will benefit the organization in the future and allow for
continued preservation of New Jersey’s natural heritage.
Deferred gifts to NJCF through a will are fully deductible
for estate tax purposes. Please consider including New Jersey
Conservation Foundation in your estate planning.
