• Estate Planning – For many donors, a gift made through a will or trust is the most realistic way to make a major gift. A bequest also may be made in honor or memory of another individual.
• Gifts of Appreciated Property – This may include stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets that you have owned for more than one year and that have increased in value since the time of purchase.
• Charitable Remainder Trust – A charitable remainder trust is a personalized life income gift that provides a donor with a lifetime income and a charitable income tax deduction. Donors may designate the remainder of their trust to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago.
• Charitable Lead Trust – This trust provides income payments through lead interest to Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago for a set period of years. At the end of this fixed period, the assets in the trust revert to the donor, to family members or others.
