You can become a special benefactor to Starlight Starbright
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 Starbright 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 Starbright Children'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
Starbright Children'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 Starbright 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 Starbright Children's
Foundation in the future and provide significant tax savings
now.
