Thank you for leaving a legacy that includes Children's Shelter of Cebu (CSC). Your gift makes an eternal difference in the lives of the children we serve and ensure a sustainable future for children who have yet to experience the loving family environment and care CSC provides.

"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:20-21 (NASB)

Some planned gifts provide income and tax benefits for you today, while others may reduce the amount of taxes your estate or children will pay at your death. There may also be advantages to leaving certain assets to charities like CSC.

 A legacy gift to CSC may:

• Fit appropriately with your estate plans
• Provide tax advantages or tax savings
• Complement your life goals for all God has entrusted to you
• Match your desire to impact the causes you care about

A variety of options are available:

Will or Revocable Trust Bequest -- Leave CSC a percentage, specific dollar amount OR portion of the reside of your estate.

Retirement Plan Assets Beneficiary -- Consider making CSC a beneficiary of an IRA or other qualifed retirement plan, leaving assets to heirs that do not have income tax liability for them.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) -- While you are living, direct tax-free transfers from your IRA to CSC, up to $100,000 per person for those 70 ½ and older that satisfy your RMD requirements.

Life Insurance Beneficiary -- Consider making CSC a beneficiary of a life insurance policy you own OR change the ownership and beneficiary of the policy to CSC (for paid up policies), allowing you to receive a charitable income tax deduction, too.

Real estate, tangible personal property, or other assets -- Avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of real estate and other property or assets by transferring title or deed directly to CSC, receiving a tax deduction for the appraised value.

Planned or Legacy gifts may require you to work with a professional advisor or attorney in drafting the appropriate legal documents. We strongly encourage you to seek the proper tax, financial and legal counsel.
