Cash Gifts:
Contributions of any size can be made. To meet your personal charitable wishes or to honor or memorialize a friend, family member or loved one. Cash gifts donated each year provide the basis for continued growth and support of our unrestricted account for Miami County.
Benefits and Wills:
When you remember the Miami County Foundation with personal property in your Will you may also request the Foundation to establish a special fund in your name or to honor a loved one. Additionally, you may designate the funds purpose.
Charitable Remainder Trust:
A donor transfers cash or property to a trust, which pays the beneficiary an income stream for his or her lifetime, a term of years or a combination of both. Upon the death of the beneficiary, the Foundation receives the remaining assets to use for the purposes specified by the donor.
Securities:
The contribution of appreciated securities will provide you with the opportunity to gift the Foundation with a larger contribution. At the same time affording you the benefit of a capital gain savings when you have held the stocks or bonds for a period of time.
Life Insurance:
Naming the Miami County Foundation as the irrevocable beneficiary of your Life Insurance may immediately provide you with a tax deduction for the cash value amount as well as for any future premiums.
Charitable Lead Trust:
This type of trust provides income to the Foundation for a specific period of time and then distributes the assets to the donor or others designated by the donor. A Charitable Lead Trust can generate significant estate tax savings.
