Planned Giving is one of the most important ways supporters of Indiana Right To Life can help us accomplish our mission. Planned Giving is simply using estate planning methods to make a charitable gift that maximizes the tax and estate benefits to you and your family, and also greatly enhances the work of Indiana Right to Life.
Your options include gift annuities, endowment funds and gifts of insurance policies and marketable securities.
New in 2023 – Secure Act 2.0
Among this bill’s components is a provision that would allow taxpayers to make a one-time qualified charitable distribution of up to $50,000 from an IRA to a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity. In addition, the new provision would apply inflation indexing to the qualified charitable distribution (QCD) limit (currently $100,000) for direct gifts to qualified charities.
The specific approach to a planned gift depends on your particular circumstances and goals. But the central theme is the same: making a deliberate and careful choice about the resources you have built up during a lifetime of work, careful management and good stewardship.
