Support MAGDRL with a Planned Gift

Here are some of the ways you can help support the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League. In additional to making a difference in the life of our beautiful animals, you may benefit from income and capital gains tax savings when you establish a planned gift.

Bequests

Bequests naming MAGDRL in your will can be a financially responsible way to make a special gift that otherwise may not be possible during your lifetime. Bequests can be designated or unrestricted in any amount.

  • A specific bequest directs charity to receive a specific piece of property
  • A general bequest directs charity to receive a specified dollar amount
  • A residual bequest designates all or a portion of what remains after expenses are paid
  • A contingent bequest in effect only if the primary intention cannot be met

Please see your estate planning lawyer for the details on correctly setting up a bequest.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

Under a Charitable Remainder Trust, the charitable beneficiary receives the remainder interest. It provides financial and estate planning flexibility. Donor transfers property under a trust agreement that specifies how trust income and principal are to be distributed. Trust may be created to become effective during life or at death. An irrevocable trust qualifies for tax consideration if it is in two forms:

  • Charitable Remainder Unitrust- provides for payment to the beneficiaries of an amount that may vary. Payment must equal a fixed percentage of the net fair-market value of the trust. Donor determines the fixed percentage, must be at least 5% of the value of the trust assets. Payments made at least annually.
  • Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust- instead of a payout that may vary, the annuity trust provides a fixed payout of not less than 5% of the initial fair-market value of the gift in trust. Makes it suitable for a beneficiary who needs the security of a specific income.

Retirement Funds (IRA) Donors can direct their retirement funds and IRAs in support of the MAGDRL. This designation often allows the donor to make a considerable legacy gift. Careful planning is necessary in the use of IRAs and other retirement plans to fund charitable gifts.

Please see your financial planner and estate planning lawyer for the details on correctly setting up a charitable remainder trust.
