ENDOWMENT
All types of assets described below can be used to make a gift to the Endowment Fund. Endowments are an important part of securing our vital role in the community and in the City of Cleveland. Our staff will work with you to create an endowment that reflects your interests and goals.
APPRECIATED SECURITIES AND OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY ASSETS
Appreciated stocks and bonds are popular assets to donate along with gifts of real estate and tangible personal property such as antiques or jewelry. These gifts, while simple can be a great source for substantial gifts. They also can provide a great tax benefit as you can avoid paying capital gains taxes otherwise required upon the sale of appreciated securities. We can provide stock power forms and assist you in making any transfers.
BEQUESTS
Bequests of all sizes are an essential part of the future success and strength of May Dugan. Bequests support May Dugan beyond your lifetime yet allow you to maintain possession of these assets during your life. No matter how modest, bequests via a Will or codicil are a welcome and important addition. If you need assistance creating language for a bequest please call and we can help you or work with your attorney so your objectives are fulfilled.
LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance is another one of the simplest ways to make a substantial gift to May Dugan's programs and mission. Contributing an existing policy allows you to maintain your cash flow and money for emergencies and not reduce your assets. Whether you have an existing policy that is no longer needed or purchase a new policy specifically to donate, name May Dugan as beneficiary and owner to complete the gift.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS
Charitable Trusts created during your lifetime or through your estate plan are popular and can be tailored to fit specific financial and philanthropic goals. There are different types of trusts to fulfill the various income needs of you and your family. Trusts are perfect for handling retirement assets or converting securities to income producing property.
REAL ESTATE
Real Estate often appreciates in value and selling it may result in large capital gains tax. Whether you own a residence, condominium, or vacation home you can give the property to May Dugan, avoid the capital gains tax, and receive an income tax deduction, while making a substantial gift.
RETIREMENT ASSETS
An IRA, Keogh, 401(k), 403 (b) or other retirement plan asset is subject to high income, estate, and other transfer taxes. Naming May Dugan as a beneficiary of all or a specified percentage of your plan's assets eliminates both income and estate taxes. Note that designating a specific dollar amount, as opposed to a specified percentage, will result in the inclusion of these funds in the gross income of your estate.
