THE REWARDS OF CREATIVE GIVING

DESIGN A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR NEEDS

As we confront the challenges of the future, we know that the generosity of those who assist us will make all the difference in our success. That is why we seek your support.

We also, however, want to make sure that you benefit from making a gift to us.

How does this happen? In addition to the satisfaction that comes from knowing you have made a difference in the lives of others, the best gift plans improve your financial and tax situation, as well— often right away.

This booklet allows you to explore opportunities that combine your philanthropic giving with your own financial needs and tax planning strategies. Through creative gift planning you can secure your own financial future, as well as ours.

To design a gift that benefits the people and organizations you care about most, we recommend that you obtain the professional counsel of an attorney who specializes in estate planning. We can work with your advisors to help you plan for tomorrow and receive maximum benefits today.
