By far the most popular, bequests are a provision made in a donor’s will, through which an organization receives cash and/or other assets at the time of the donor’s death. Three common types of bequests are:
Charitable trusts provide payments to the donor or their designated individual(s), while offering income tax and capital gains benefits to the donor. They come in two main forms, Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Lead Trusts. Within these two types exist a variety of customizations that can meet the donor’s unique needs. While there are many benefits to creating a charitable trust, they perform best with an initial investment of $1 million or more. Charitable Gift Annuities are excellent alternatives for donors who intend to make contributions less than $1 million. Please be aware that charitable trusts are irrevocable and thus require extensive planning and review.
Gift of property can come in many forms. This type of gift ranges from tangible items to intangible assets. In the case of tangible personal property, the charity does not assign value to the donation. It is the donor’s responsibility to assess the gift’s value. Generally, we accept these items as long as they can be used in the immediate future, or can be sold quickly to support the mission.
Show your business’s commitment to protecting the places we share. Explore sponsorship opportunities that provide visibility for your company while helping MountainTrue’s work thrive.
Volunteers are the heart of MountainTrue. Join us for a cleanup, a hike, or a service project — and as a thank-you, any volunteer can request a free one-year membership.
Architects, designers, legal and financial professionals, and more: your expertise can make a difference. Donating your professional skills is a powerful way to help MountainTrue and the communities we serve.
