GIFTS FROM AN IRA
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA account. The law allows you to transfer any amount up to $105,000 (annually) directly to a qualified charitable organization without paying income tax on the distribution. The transfer does not generate taxable income or a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. A charitable distribution also counts as part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), and must be made directly through your financial advisor to the charity.

Your home or vacation property can become a lot more than just a place where you build memories with your loved ones. Through The Orange Catholic Foundation, you can transform your real estate property into a faith-filled legacy by donating your home and supporting Catholic causes for years to come. Some additional benefits may include a charitable income tax deduction and the avoidance of capital gains tax on the sale.

A Donor Advised Fund(DAF) is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to simplify their giving and have the versatility to give whenever their heart feels inclined. To fund a DAF, you make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or appreciated stocks, real estate or other securities. The assets will continue to grow tax-free.
Once the account is funded, you can make grant recommendations monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually to the charity or charities of your choice. For example, you can recommend that the grant be used to support The Orange Catholic Foundation and direct your gift to your parish, a Catholic school or other Catholic ministry.

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is a simple arrangement that will support you, your family and the church. Here’s how it works: you make a gift—part of which is tax deductible—and receive fixed payments each year for the rest of your life. Your gift goes on to support The Orange Catholic Foundation and/or your favorite Catholic causes throughout your lifetime, after which the remaining value benefits the ministry. To get started today, reach out to our Philanthropy Team at 714-282-3021 or at info@orangecatholicfoundation.org.
A legacy plan and gift are thoughtful, prayer-filled ways to communicate how your closely held values and Catholic faith can be passed on to the next generation. In your trust or will, you can make a bequest, a gift of money, property or assets, to your loved ones and to the Catholic causes that mean the most to you. There are tax benefits and consequences that may need to be considered. Please click here for more information about legacy giving, gain access to our free estate planning guide or learn more about our Light of Christ Legacy Society. You can also contact us at 714-282-3021.
