ESTATE PLANNING
Estate planning is the process by which your personal and financial objectives for your family or charities are accomplished following your promotion to eternal life. Often, there is a good deal of discussion to determine the best plan for those who will survive you.
MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies will match donations given by their employees to a non-profit organization. Check with your employer to see if they have an Employee Giving Program. If they do not, often times you can notify your Philanthropy department and they will provide Build International Ministries with a form to fill out to start the process.
STOCKS & MUTUAL FUNDS
If you are currently writing checks to your local church and favorite ministries, and you also have appreciated stocks or mutual funds in a taxable investment portfolio, you likely have a significant opportunity to pay less tax, give more, improve your personal cash flow, and simplify your giving. Please call our office at 972-674-9777 or email build@buildinternational.org to set up a transfer of stocks or mutual funds.
REAL ESTATE
Many property owners have a heart to give but feel hindered by limited cash flow and ever growing taxes. A gift of real estate can provide considerable savings in capital gains taxes due upon the sale of appreciated property. At the same time, you receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the property as determined by the appraisal. Gifts of appreciated real estate are fully deductible up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income. The unused portion of your donation can usually be carried forward and deducted over a maximum of five subsequent years with the same 30% maximum each year, subject to certain limitations. Please contact us for further information
BUSINESS INTEREST
If you're running a business, our Charitable Shareholder strategy allows you to donate a non-voting interest, receive a substantial tax deduction, and still maintain management oversight. Best of all, you'll experience the joy of sending more to your favorite causes today. Or, if you're one of the select entrepreneurs who has the opportunity to sell your successful company for a sizeable gain, we can help you maximize your sale ... and your impact to change lives. Please contact us for further information.
SELLING A BUSINESS
Selling a business can lead to significant income and capital gains taxes. With your attorney's help, you can often use a charitable trust offered through Build International Ministries to minimize or eliminate these taxes.
LIFE INSURANCE GIFTS
The contribution of an existing or new life insurance policy can provide a significant gift in a manner which can be especially attractive for younger donors. By designating Build International Ministries as both the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy, your premiums may be tax deductible.
How does it work? Simply purchase a life insurance policy and name the charity as your beneficiary. For example, let's say you have a $200,000 policy. You can leave $150,000 to your family and $50,000 to your favorite charity or non-profit organization, such as Build International Ministries.
If you donate a term life policy to a charity or non-profit, you can deduct the cost of the premiums from your taxes. If you donate a whole life policy, you can deduct the cash value of the policy as well as the cost of the premiums. In both cases the charity gets the policy proceeds.
OIL, GAS, AND MINERAL LEASE
Own an oil, gas or mineral lease, or surface rights? Why not donate it to Build International Ministries and receive some healthy tax advantages, so we can convert your donation to help those less fortunate around the world?
