What is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is a thoughtfully worked out set of ways that as a donor, you may combine financial objectives and charitable giving goals to achieve the maximum success and financial benefit for your family and for Helping Hands, if you so choose.
Planned giving may allow you to receive an income during your lifetime and then at your death, bequeath certain assets to Helping Hands.
From a donor's perspective, planned giving is attractive for many reasons. It may allow you to make larger gifts than you otherwise could out of your current assets. Depending on how a planned gift is set up, it may also let you receive a stream of income for life, earn higher investment yield, or reduce your capital gains or estate taxes.
