Planned Giving
Gifts may be made over an extended period of time. The benefits of establishing a planned gift is a possible reduction of your taxes- increasing income. You may schedule payments on a bi-yearly, quarterly, or monthly plan to fit your needs.
IRA Transfer
Gifts from your Individual Retirement Account allows tax-deductible contributions of up to $4,000 per year, or more if you are over age 50. Whatever you contribute towards your IRA comes off your yearly income, thereby reducing total tax liability. Congress just passed legislation that allows you to make tax-free contributions to AAFA-KC from you IRA. To benefit you must be at least 70 1/2 and it applies only to IRA's. The greatest benefits to you will be determined by circumstance as well as state and federal tax laws.
Please contact the AAFAKC office for additional information by phone: 816-333-6608 or by email: info@aafakc.org.
IRA Beneficiary
Another tax-smart strategy is to name the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Greater Kansas City Chapter as beneficiary of all or a portion of your IRA assets. By naming us as beneficiary of your IRA, you can leave us a gift that is free of all income and estate taxes because we are a charitable organization.
A Gift in Your Will
You can make a bequest designating a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the residue of your estate to pass onto AAFAKC at your death in honor/memory of your loved one. The primary financial benefit of gifts made by will is a reduction in estate taxes.
An Endowed Gift
Contributing to or establishing an endowment offers financial benefits similar to those available by making an outright gift or bequest. The main difference is that an endowment is structured so the investment income, rather than the principal, is used to fund the gift from year to year. If the entire principal remains invested, the endowment will continue in perpetuity.
Workplace Campaign
This campaign is the most effective way to organize your company around helping to improve the community you work and live in. AAFAKC can help you plan and implement a company account for employees to donate.
Honorary Gift: Gifts will be made in honor and acknowledgement of a loved one.
Stock Donation
Giving long-term, appreciated securities may provide a greater benefit to you-
- You may save current income for day-to-day needs because a gift of stock does NOT come out of your cash flow.
- You may save taxes two ways: Income tax and Capital Gains tax.
- You may lower the “cost” of your gift.
