You can become a special benefactor to Starlight
Children's Foundation with relative ease. Your lifetime of diligence
and hard work has given you certain assets. Through Planned and
Asset Giving, you now have the ability to turn selected assets
into gifts of donations that will directly support our work and
receive, through income tax savings, direct financial benefits
in return.
We have selected seven kinds of Planned and Asset Gifts for you
to consider.
Bequest in a Will
If you do not have a Will, you should consult your family and
lawyer and have one drawn up. Without a Will, your estate can
be tied up in court and eaten away by legal fees and taxes.
Your Will may be used to leave a specific amount or percentage
of your estate to the Starlight Children's Foundation.
Life Insurance
You may wish to take out a life Insurance Policy on yourself
or a member of your family with Starlight's Foundation as your
beneficiary. You may also have a "paid-up" Life Insurance policy
that you would like to donate. Tax Receipts are issued for the
cost of premium payments on new policies or for the cash value
of "paid-up" policies.
Strip Bonds
Conventional bonds can be purchased and donated to Starlight's
Foundation. Immediate tax savings apply to the cost of the bond.
Donated bonds are redeemed for their guaranteed maturity value.
Assets & Property
Art-collections, rare books, antiques and other assets can be
donated. They are as good as cash gifts and you enjoy the same
tax benefit. Both residential and commercial property can be donated
as an outright gift or as a residual interest gift.
Securities
Stocks, bonds GICs and other securities can be donated with
considerable tax benefits to the donor.
Annuities
An Annuity Gift is like an investment. You give a sum of money
to Starlight Children's Foundation and receive a percentage of
money every year throughout your lifetime. A tax receipt is issued
annually for the donated portion of your annuity.
Remainder Trusts
A Remainder Trust can be established to provide the payment of
a guaranteed amount of money to Starlight's Foundation in the
future and provide significant tax savings now.
For more information about this program or if you would like a
brochure mailed to you, please contact the Planned Giving Coordinator.
