Major Gifts 
and Planned Giving

Planned giving is sometimes referred to as gift planning or legacy giving. Some planned gifts provide life-long income to donor. Other gift plans use estate and tax planning to provide for charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate.

Thus, by definition, a planned gift is any major gift, made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning.

What are the 3 types of planned gifts?

• First, outright gifts that use appreciated assets as a substitute for cash;

• Second, gifts that return income or other financial benefits to the donor in return for the contribution;

• Third, gifts payable upon the donor’s death.

Independence Financial Advisors, a subsidiary of Franklin Savings Bank, manages our planned giving program. Please consult a financial planning advisor or attorney to discuss options.
