Gifts You Can Make Now

If you are age 70½ or older, you can make direct tax-free transfers from your IRA account to Clark. These gifts count toward your required minimum distribution and may reduce your federal and state income taxes.

Making a gift of appreciated securities can help you avoid capital gains taxes and generate a charitable income tax deduction, stretching your charitable dollars further.

Create a philanthropic spending account that allows you to time your giving — and your charitable deductions — to maximize your tax savings.

Combine a fixed income stream for life with tax savings — and a gift to Clark.

Combine a gift to Clark with tax savings and lifetime income for you or others. You can fund your charitable remainder trust with a wide variety of assets and add to it over time.

Choose from a variety of ways to structure your gift, including an arrangement that allows you to stay in your home for your lifetime and take a federal income tax deduction now.

Create a charitable lead annuity trust, which allows you to pass assets to your heirs tax-free while providing an annual gift to Clark for a number of years.

Assets other than cash or stocks can make great gifts to Clark — particularly if they’re no longer of use to you. Clark may be able to accept:

• Paid-up life insurance policies
• Personal property, including art and collectibles
• Closely held stock and business interests
• Intellectual property and royalty rights
