Thank you for your interest in learning more about the benefits of planned giving — for you, for your family, and for the children at Epworth.
Planned giving is as easy as (1) making a charitable gift, and (2) saving taxes. We’d like to make it even easier with this introduction to some of the best ways to give — and save.
We hope that this information will be helpful to you and your attorney, accountant, or other professional advisors. If you have further questions, please give us a call at 803-256-7394. Thank you for your interest and support.
Types of Gifts
If you itemize, you can lower your income taxes simply by writing us a check. Gifts of cash are fully deductible––up to a maximum of 50% of your adjusted gross income.
Gifts of a residence, vacation home, farm, acreage, or vacant lot can have significant tax advantages.
Current tax laws make it possible for you to make a charitable gift of stock at a remarkably low after-tax cost.
Through a gift of life insurance, you can make a substantial contribution to us—at a low out-of-pocket cost.
