Planned Giving Options
Beneficiary of Your Will
You may name the Foundation as a charitable beneficiary in your will, specifying a certain sum, a percentage, or the residue of your estate. We can establish guidelines to ensure that your charitable intentions are met in the future.
CRT and CLT
Choosing from a variety of planned gifts, such as Charitable Remainder Trusts or Charitable Lead Trusts, might be an option for you. This type of arrangement is ideal for the gifting of appreciated assets.
Generally these assets provide a current income tax deduction for the present value of the remainder committed to charity, with no capital gains on the disposition of the appreciated assets. And there is no tax on the earnings of the trust. Naming the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation as the final beneficiary of the trust enables you to serve posterity with your generosity today.
Life Insurance
Life insurance may be used as a bequest instrument, also naming the Foundation as the beneficiary.
Real Estate
A gift of real estate may provide you with a means of using the value of your home or real property to create your legacy. Upon the acceptance and sale of your property, the Foundation will manage the proceeds in a fund established by you that will keep on giving.
