As its name implies, a planned, or legacy gift requires planning -- usually tax planning. The terms cover a broad range of gifts and plans, all of which qualify for various income and tax benefits in exchange for a gift made either today or in the future.

There are several reasons to make a legacy gift:

•Commitment to a particular cause
•Desire to give back
•Personal satisfaction and values
•Income tax savings
•Reduction of estate and probate costs

Whatever your motivation, philanthropy has many rewards. Your tax advisor can recommend the strategy that is best for you.
