Cash or Securities
|
| |
| |
A gift of cash or securities is of immediate benefit to CNS Foundation and is the most direct way to give. A cash gift entitles you to claim a charitable income tax deduction in an amount up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. If a deduction exceeds 50 percent of your adjusted gross income, the balance may be carried forward for up to five additional years. A tax-deductible cash gift allows CNS Foundation to use the funds immediately. |
| |
We also encourage you to consider ways to raise the value of your gift to Children’s Neurobiological Solutions Foundation: |
| |
| |
| |
|
Increase the size of your gift
Matching gift programs enable participants to double or sometimes triple their charitable gifts. If this is a program available to you, ask for your company’s matching gift forms, or contact us at CNS Foundation and we will make the appropriate inquiries on your behalf. |
| |
| |
|
Minimize your tax burden
Gifts of appreciated securities offer special tax benefits including elimination of capital gains tax on the appreciated portion of stock gifts. Call or write the CNS Development Office today for more information. |

Planned Gifts |
| |
| |
|
For many donors, an outright gift is not the best means of achieving their philanthropic or estate planning goals. Carefully planned gifts can offer significant estate tax and income benefits, while at the same time allowing donors to make larger gifts to an organization than would otherwise be possible. Contact Julia Theisen at (866) CNS-5580 for more information about the following: |

The Retained Life Estate Plan
Real Property, such as a primary or vacation home, may be transferred to CNS Foundation while allowing you the right to live in the home for the rest of your life. This is known under federal tax law as a retained life estate agreement. Property can be conveyed to CNS Foundation as an outright gift and would afford significant tax relief, equal to the difference between the “basis” in the property and its fair market value today. This difference serves as a tax deduction but is limited in any one year to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. Any unused deduction can be carried forward for up to six years. Should you consider an outright gift of this property, CNS Foundation would pay for expenses associated with an appraisal, title report and toxic waste analysis, and other incidental costs related to the transaction. In addition, CNS Foundation would honor you and your family as pioneers in the advancement of effective treatments and therapies for children with neurodevelopmental abnormalities, birth injuries to the nervous system, and related neurological problems. |
