PLANNED GIVING – Fulfilling Your Wishes, Ensuring a Legacy

IRA Rollover - President Obama and Congress Extend Tax Cuts through 2012.

Included in legislation signed into law on December 17th, 2010, is an extension of the IRA Rollover provision for 2010. This provision again gives individuals 70½ and older the option to give to charities like The JESUS Film Project and Campus Crusade for Christ directly from their traditional IRAs up to $100,000 without the normal tax consequences on withdrawals. An IRA Rollover gift meets the Minimum Distribution requirements and many people can benefit. For those whose charitable giving exceeds their annual adjusted gross income limits, a gift of this kind is especially helpful. Consult your tax advisor. Gifts must be transferred by December 30, 2011, for crediting in 2011. For assistance, call toll free at 1-888-278-7233, option #1, then option #2, and ask for Debbie Williams, Ben Grames or Cathy Emmans. Or if you prefer, you can email them at stock@jesusfilm.org. 

*Restrictions apply; contact your tax advisor or IRA custodian. 

What does tax reform mean to you in 2011?

The 2003 Tax Act contained many provisions that were phased in over a seven year period. Many of those provisions were extended into 2011 as a result of the legislation signed into law by President Obama on December 17, 2010. To learn about some of the changes that could affect you, please click here. 

What is planned giving?

The term refers to charitable giving that is planned ahead of time. These gifts can be advantageous to the donor by providing significant tax benefits and/or income for life, and at the same time providing a gift for a well loved cause, The JESUS Film Project. A variety of methods used to make these gifts range from simple bequests made in wills to setting up charitable trusts.

Benefits of planned gifts:
   • Avoid capital gains tax
   • Avoid estate taxes
   • Reduce the donor's income tax
   • Increase current income for the donor or others
   • Make a significant gift to The JESUS Film Project or other ministries that God lays on your heart
   • Pass assets to your family at a reduced tax cost
