    HELPING YOUR CLIENTS ACHIEVE THEIR PHILANTHROPIC GOALS MARVIN E. BLUM, JD/CPA THE BLUM FIRM, P.C.

Helping clients achieve their charitable planning goals is a labor of love. Talking with them breaks down into Who, When, How, What, and Why. WHO: Which clients do you talk with about this? WHEN is the right time for this conversation? HOW do you present the information? WHAT techniques do you discuss? WHY should clients consider including charitable planning in their estate plan? WHY should advisors bring it up? 1 WHO? Which clients do you talk with about charitable planning? Everyone, not just the mega wealthy. The techniques may differ, but everyone can include charitable planning in their estate plan. Talk to clients who already give to charity each year or regularly tithe. They may want the charities they care about remembered at their death. Talk with your clients who have already provided for their families. Those who have already done gift planning to set aside for their family may be more receptive to providing for the community. 2 Talk with clients with high-wage-earning children. Children who are financially independent are less in need of an inheritance. There’s a growing population of clients with no children. Encourage them to find what’s meaningful to them. 3 WHEN? When is the right time to talk with your client about this? Not too early in the relationship with your client.

  • General Explanation of Charitable Remainder Trusts and Private Foundations
    General Explanation of Charitable Remainder Trusts and Private Foundations THE USE OF CHARITABLE TRUSTS can provide investment diversification without taxable gain, a larger stream of income during life, and an income tax deduction to the maker of the charitable trust. There is considerable flexibility in designing charitable remainder trusts and they are especially attractive to high net worth individuals who wish to use them in connection with their own private foundation which, in effect, passes control of the transferred assets to the next generation for their continued charitable purposes. CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS There are two basic types of charitable remainder trust: the “charitable remainder annuity trust” (CRAT) or a “charitable remainder unitrust” (CRUT). The difference between the two types of charitable remainder trusts is that in an “annuity trust” the annuity paid to you by the trust is based on a fixed percentage of the trust assets valued at the time the assets were contributed to the trust. You would continue to receive this fixed annuity amount for the rest of your life, A “unitrust’ is designed so that the trust assets would be valued each year and you would receive a fixed percentage of the changing value of the trust as it grows (or decreases) from year to year. In other words, the “annuity trust” is a fixed annuity and the “unitrust” is a variable annuity. The payout percentages to you may be at different interest rates (i.e., 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% and 10%). You can choose any of these rates; however, the greater the amount you retain as an annuity from the trust (whether a “unitrust” or an “annuity trust”), the less will ultimately pass to charity and the lower your income tax deduction for your gift to the charitable remainder trust.

  • Giving Season 2019: Gifts That Transform, and Transformed by Giving
    GIVING SEASON 2019: GIFTS THAT TRANSFORM, AND TRANSFORMED BY GIVING Giving season is upon us. And there is some catching up to SUZANNE L. SHIER do. Giving in 2018 dipped slightly from 2017, which begs the Chief Wealth Planning and Tax Strategist question: How will 2019 measure up? Gifts have the power to transform. And the transformation is bidirectional, impacting the recipient and the donor. Philanthropy also has the additional beneft of being tax-favored for individuals, corporations and estates at death. With talk of a wealth tax on the campaign trail, would there be a charitable deduction to such a potential tax? CONSIDERATIONS FOR MAKING TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFTS ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFTS Intentional giving has the potential to impact individuals, families and communities – everything from education to health to the arts. Consider education, often viewed as a gateway to opportunity. While giving to education accounted for 14% of giving in 2018 and totaled $58.72 billion, this amount represents a 13% decline from 2017.i As colleges and universities seek to make higher education accessible without regard to family income or wealth, the importance of endowment to bridge the funding gap has escalated. While the need has been flled with transformational gifts at some schools,ii many are earnestly seeking endowment resources. When making gift choices, impact matters. An individual life changed, a family, a community. Improved education levels, health, standards of living. Impact data is available for education, health and other areas of giving.

  • Choosing Among the Private Foundation, Supporting Organization and Donor-Advised Fund 1
    CHOOSING AMONG THE PRIVATE FOUNDATION, SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION AND DONOR-ADVISED FUND 1 VICTORIA B. BJORKLUND SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT LLP MAY 29, 2003 This outline focuses on factors a donor should consider in choosing among the private foundation, supporting organization and donor-advised fund. The outline also examines current developments regarding private foundations, supporting organizations, and donor- advised funds. The emergence of the donor-advised fund in the 1990s marks a dramatic change in the American charitable-giving paradigm. Now virtually every exploratory conversation between an advisor and a prospective donor includes discussion of the donor-advised-fund option. The donor-advised fund focuses on values important to contemporary donors: involvement and efficiency2 and all with significantly lower operating costs than would apply to a private foundation or supporting organization. Part of donor-advised funds’ appeal is their ease of use: donors can open a gift account without any advice of counsel or legal instruments. Many accounts can easily be opened online. 1 Copyright © 2003 Victoria B. Bjorklund. This outline builds upon “The Emergence of the Donor- Advised Fund,” presented at Georgetown University’s 15th Annual Conference on Representing and Managing Tax-Exempt Organizations and reprinted at 3 Paul Streckfus’ EO Tax Journal 15 (May 1998), prior outlines on this topic published by ALI-ABA, and a paper delivered at the October 1999 meeting of The National Center on Philanthropy and the Law at NYU Law School, which was published in 27 E.O.T.R. 107 (Jan. 2000). 2 See, e.g., “‘Wired’: Giving With a Bottom Line,” Chronicle of Philanthropy, p.

    Public Charity or Private Foundation Status Issues under IRC 509(a)(1)-(4), 4942(j)(3), and 507 By Virginia G. Richardson and John Francis Reilly Exempt Organizations-Technical Instruction Program for FY 2003 Public Charity or Private Foundation Status Issues under IRC 509(a)(1)-(4), 4942(j)(3), and 507 By Virginia G. Richardson and John Francis Reilly Overview Purpose This article presents an overview of the issues confronted when dealing with whether an organization is a public charity or a private foundation, whether it is a private operating foundation, and what are the rules regarding termination of private foundation status. Introduction: To a great extent, the Tax Reform Act of 1969 is based on the distinction Public between private foundations and public charities.

Summary • People in the criminal justice system face a range of complex issues that will not be addressed by linear, generic services. The new probation system needs to place the person at the centre, facilitating wrap-around, tailored support from a plurality of providers. • Scale can be achieved through working with a variety of providers. Small and local charities need to be part of an ecosystem or providers as they are able to provide specialist support to specific cohorts that reflect the relevant local context. • Small and local charities (97% of the charity sector) have a long track record of delivering quality services to people in the criminal justice system. The distinctive characteristics of these charities also enable them to deliver high levels of social value.

Structures should be developed to facilitate ongoing engagement with small and local charities. • Learning from the challenges of Transforming Rehabilitation, the new probation system should be designed in a simple, integrated way to reduce complexity and fragmentation – coordinating with other agencies and learning from the new aligned system in Wales. • The new system should support effective collaboration and operate at a level that is most appropriate to meet local needs, with flexibility to reflect the specific contexts of local areas.
