Giving Through Your Estate
A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals and benefit Farm Sanctuary.
Stocks & Bonds
Giving long-term appreciated stock is one of the most tax advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting Farm Sanctuary.
Retirement Assets
A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding Farm Sanctuary's future.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to Farm Sanctuary, receive income for yourself or others and be entitled to a current income tax deduction for a portion of the assets given to fund the gift annuity.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. It can be made without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.
Cash
One of the most common ways to make a gift to Farm Sanctuary is to write a check, give a credit card number, or donate online.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages and make a significant charitable gift to Farm Sanctuary.
Personal Property
A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support Farm Sanctuary.
Retained Life Estates
Donate your home, farm or a second home to Farm Sanctuary and receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction, while retaining the right to live in your home for the rest of your life. If you itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction you could save significant income taxes. If you cannot use your entire deduction in the year of your gift, you may carry forward all unused deduction for up to five additional years if you are able to itemize in each of those years.
The IRA Charitable Rollover Gift Annuity Plan
You can now make a Qualified Charitable Distribution in exchange for a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed income for life.
Bargain Sale
Receive immediate cash and make a gift to Farm Sanctuary by selling to us a valuable asset, such as real estate, for less than it is worth.
