Planned Giving

Easy to do and costs nothing during your lifetime. Simply designate a revocable gift of cash or other assets to Pingree School in your will. Your estate can receive a charitable estate tax deduction once the gift is made.

A Charitable Gift Annuity can increase your cash flow. Make an irrevocable gift of cash or other assets to Pingree School in return for a fixed payment for life for whomever you choose. Typically, payments are made to the Donor and his/her spouse (joint life annuity). You may be eligible for a charitable tax deduction, and reduced or deferred capital gains taxes. A Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity delays the start of payments for a specified number of years.

Sell an asset tax-free and receive income for life. You gift an asset to Pingree School, the sale of which funds the Charitable Remainder Trust. The trust beneficiaries receive income for a specified period of time. At the end of the trust term, Pingree School receives the principal. You potentially can reduce capital gains tax on the donation, receive an income tax deduction on the fair market value of the remainder interest earned by the trust, and reduce your estate taxes. A Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust pays a fixed dollar amount annually. A Charitable Remainder Unitrust pays a fixed percentage annually.
