Other Ways to Contribute to B.U.D.'S FOUNDATION
CASH GIFTS
The simplest and most convenient way to support the fund is through cash gifts, usually made by check or credit card.
SECURITIES OR REAL ESTATE
Gifts of appreciated securities and real property may provide important tax advantages to donors who have held assets for more than one year. The full fair market value of such gifts may be deductible as a charitable contribution.
WILLS OR BEQUESTS
There are many ways to remember the B.U.D.'S FOUNDATION in a will. After providing for heirs, a donor can specify that some or all of the remaining assets be given to the B.U.D.'S FOUNDATION, thereby achieving a lasting purpose and reducing the taxable portion of an estate.
LIFE INSURANCE
B.U.D.'S FOUNDATION may be named as the owner and beneficiary of a previously existing or new life insurance policy. The donor receives an immediate tax deduction, which is generally equal to the policy's cash surrender value. The donor may make ongoing tax-deductible gifts to ensure continuation of premium payments.
RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS
Assets held in qualified retirement plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) may be contributed to charity. The donor may name the B.U.D.'S FOUNDATION as the designated beneficiary of retirement account assets upon his/her death or the death of family beneficiaries.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS
A donor may wish to make a contribution to the Foundation but also receive an income interest. Certain charitable trusts may deliver important advantages in financial and estate planning and also enable charitable gifts to the fund. The B.U.D.'S FOUNDATION does not act in a trustee capacity but will work with donors and their chosen trustees as the charitable lead beneficiary or remainderman of the trust.
