charitable instruments


Below are examples of charitable instruments. Please contact us to discuss the best fit for your philanthropic goals. 


Outright Gift 

The simplest ways to give make a big difference. 

You can make a gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets. Most charitable gifts qualify for maximum tax advantage under federal law. 

 

Gift of Real Estate 

A charitable gift unearthed. 

Making a charitable gift of real estate can help you turn your property gains into community good. The value of your real estate may exceed that of any other asset you own, and you can use it to fulfill your charitable goals and receive financial and tax benefits. 

 

Gift of Life Insurance 

Community as your beneficiary. 

Life insurance provides a simple way for you to give a significant gift to charity, with tax benefits that you can enjoy during your lifetime. 

 

Gift of Appreciated Stock 

Turning stock market gains into community investment. 

Everybody wins when you make a gift of appreciated stock. Your gains are put to good use. Your gift of stock is reinvested in Athens County, and it qualifies for an immediate tax deduction based on the full market value. 

 

Bequest by Will 

A legacy of giving. 

Including a charitable bequest in your will is a simple way to make a lasting gift to Athens County. When you make this gift, we can establish a special fund that benefits the community and becomes your personal legacy of giving.
