What is Planned Giving?

Planned gifts, including life income gifts such as charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities, provide substantial financial support to nonprofit institutions. When establishing a life income gift, a donor typically contributes cash, stocks, or other assets and, in return, receives an income for life. When the arrangement terminates, the remaining assets pass to the organization. We manage the assets, provide all related gift administration services, consult with our clients on policies and individual gift situations, and provide comprehensive reporting to our clients and their donors.

Benefits for Donors

A planned gift, such as a charitable remainder trust or gift annuity, allows you to make a substantial gift to support the long-term mission of your chosen organization — it might ultimately establish a scholarship or other endowment fund. Our clients and experienced staff will help you and your advisors determine which gift option best accomplishes your objectives. We can share our expertise surrounding the likely effects of the gift choice on the payments and the ultimate value. Once you establish your trust or other planned gift, TIAA Kaspick invests and administers the gift and prepares annual tax materials.
