Charity Donations: How Planned Giving Benefits Inland Empire Non-Profits

Donations to local charity organizations are some of the best ways for your generosity to empower our community and the families and youth who live here. Reach Out is dedicated to embracing the Inland Empire region through youth mentoring, school-based counseling, parenting classes and other programs. From opening doors to fulfilling careers in health professions to preventing drug and alcohol abuse, we put your dollars to work right here in our community.

After protecting our youth and creating opportunities in Inland Empire communities for over 40 years, we’ve come to recognize that community members are eager to support their local not-for-profit organizations in any way they can. You can do so by making a monetary contribution or by donating your time or other assets. You can also make charity donations from your estate through planned giving.

Planned giving is a flexible arrangement that allows you to make a future gift that benefits our charitable cause, but has significant tax benefits for you and your heirs. With bequest non-profit donations, Inland Empire donors set aside a certain amount of the proceeds from their estate that will be used as a tax deductible charity donation after their passing. Our tax advisors can help you choose the ideal amount that will allow you to enjoy the greatest tax benefit so your heirs can receive a comparable amount in inheritance as they would if you had not participated in planned giving. Meanwhile, you remain in control of your assets, so if your circumstances change, you can modify your bequest commitment.

If you’d rather make a tax deductible donation now, you can make a tax deductible gift annuity. To ensure that you have enough income to sustain your quality of life, Reach Out will make lifetime fixed payments to you from the proceeds from your assets, such as appreciated stock, CDs or property. This gives you greater control over your assets and the income that may have been lost to capital gains taxes.

At Reach Out, we focus on creating donation and gifting plans that work for you. Call our office at (909) 982-8641 to learn more about our planned giving and charity donations.

Inland Empire is served by over a dozen ongoing programs and annual events created and supported by Reach Out. Visit our website to learn how we play a role in your community.
