We also offer a Planned Giving Program

You can receive tax advantages, enjoy reduced capital gains taxes, receive income for life and provide a lasting gift to The JSF Foundation through a variety of planned giving options such as charitable gift annuities and charitable trusts. You can also assure future services at the JSF Foundation through a bequest in your will.

Planned Giving Options Include:

A Charitable Gift Annuity: A simple contract between you and The JSF Foundation. In exchange for your irrevocable gift of cash, securities or other assets, The JSF Foundation agrees to pay one or two annuitants you name a fixed sum each year for life. Payments are usually made in annual, semi-annual or quarterly installments.

Charitable Remainder Unitrust: a gift plan defined by federal tax law that allows you to provide income to yourself or others while making a generous gift to The JSF Foundation. The income may continue for the lifetimes of the beneficiaries you name, a fixed term of not more than 20 years, or a combination of two. As the donor of a net income unitrust with a makeup provision, you irrevocably transfer assets, usually cash, securities, or real estate to a trustee of your choice (for example, The JSF Foundation or a bank trust department).

Pooled Income Fund: a gift plan defined by federal tax law that allows you to provide income to yourself or others for life, while making a generous gift to charity. When you make a donation to a pooled income fund, your irrevocable gift of cash or securities is invested together with the gifts of all other donors to the fund. Each quarter, your proportional share of the fund's income is distributed to the income beneficiaries you have named.

Creating a Legacy: A bequest in your will enables you to provide in a meaningful way for the future of The JSF Foundation without parting now with assets you may need for life's contingencies. Your bequest to The JSF Foundation would be completely deductible for estate tax purposes. A bequest can be made by 1) leaving a set dollar amount; 2) leaving a particular asset such as securities, real estate or a valuable collectible; 3) designating The JSF Foundation the beneficiary of a percentage, or all, of your residuary estate after specific bequests are made to family members or friends; and 4) designating The JSF Foundation the beneficiary of a living trust, a life insurance policy, a bank account, a pension account or retirement account.

Other gifts: Securities, unencumbered real property or life insurance gifts may also be contributed.
