Make the Most of Your Charitable Giving

Make the Most of Your Charitable Giving

February 2021 Newsletter Stories If you’ve wanted to make a difference in the lives of Airmen, Guardians and their families, and you want to maximize your philanthropic goals, AFAS can help. There are several different ways to plan your giving, including bequests, IRA charitable rollovers and gifts of stocks and bonds. A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. It can also reduce the burden of taxes on your family, and you may receive estate tax savings. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or AFAS as part of your estate plan. Not sure where to start? Download our free Estate Planning Guide today. We can help you tailor your charitable gift to your financial, tax or estate planning objectives. Learn more about planned giving and how you can leave a lasting legacy.
