NON-CASH GIFTS:

  • Securities: ALC accepts both publicly traded securities and closely held securities.

    • Publicly traded securities, include marketable securities, such as stock shares, mutual fund shares, and bonds.
    • Closely held securities include debt and equity positions in non-publicly traded companies and interests in limited partnerships (LPs) and limited liability companies (LLCs), or other forms of ownership.

    A gift of securities can result in valuable tax benefits to the donor. Discuss the possibilities with your financial advisor.

  • Life Insurance: You can name ALC as a beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of your life insurance policies. ALC can also be named as the owner of whole life insurance policies.

  • Retirement Plans: You can name ALC as beneficiary of your retirement plans, such as pension plans, annuity contracts, 401(k) plans, and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). Note: If you are over 70 and a half, between now and December 31, 2009 you can donate from your IRA without incurring a tax penalty!

  • Real Estate: Gifts of real estate may include developed property, undeveloped land, or a remainder interest in a personal residence, farm, or vacation home. (See Donations of Land and Real Estate)

  • Bargain Sales: A bargain sale is a hybrid of a gift and a sale. Any asset can be the subject of a bargain sale, though real estate is the most commonly transferred asset. You can sell a property to ALC below market value; the difference between the fair market value and the selling price of the property may be claimed as a tax deduction. ALC will enter into a bargain sale arrangement in instances where the transaction will further its mission and purposes. Such arrangements must be approved by ALC’s Board of Directors.
