| Planned Giving Make a Long-term Gift that Benefits Sparc and You |
There is a gift that matches every goal. Deferred gifts
contribute to Sparc’s ability to provide outstanding services for
individuals with developmental disabilities -- both today and for
future generations to come.
Revocable deferred gifts such as bequests, living trusts, and
life insurance can provide you with the maximum security and
flexibility in estate planning, while irrevocable deferred gifts
such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder
trusts offer you income payments for life and/or specific tax
advantages.
Planned gifts give you options for making a gift in ways that
may allow you to:
The mission for Sparc’s planned giving program is to create
outcomes that clearly benefit the donor and Sparc -- assist
donors in achieving philanthropic goals and to avoid potential
significant taxes and help ensure Sparc’s long-term financial
stability.
This requires getting to know every active and potential Sparc
donor -- philanthropic desires, backgrounds, relevant
circumstances, and general financial goals. When considering
a planned gift for Sparc, meeting with a financial advisor, tax
expert or estate-planning attorney will be encouraged.
If you’d like to learn more about planned gifts or want to
consider making a planned gift, please call Jim
Danielson, Director of Planned Giving, at 217.793.2206,
