HOW YOU CAN HELP

Stocks, Bonds or Mutual Fund Shares
To make a gift of appreciated securities, transfer the securities to Carondelet Foundation. Do not sell the securities first. The value of your gift is determined in accordance with IRS regulations. The value of the securities is the average of the high and low price of a security on the date of transfer to a Carondelet Foundation account. For certificates that are mailed, the value is determined as of the postmarked date, or if delivered to the Foundation, by the receipt of the properly endorsed certificate.

Broker Transfer
Carondelet Foundation has accounts with most major brokerage firms in Tucson and will work with your broker to facilitate your gift and the sale of the security. Ownership of your stock may be transferred electronically. You should notify your broker of your intentions and ask them to contact Carondelet Foundation for detailed information.

Mailing a Certificate
A stock certificate may be mailed to Carondelet Foundation. To protect your gift, mail the unsigned certificate in one envelope and send a signed stock power in a separate envelope. The form must be signed exactly as the name appears on the certificate, with the signature guaranteed. Certificate and form should be sent by certified mail.

Charitable Gift Annuity
The donor irrevocably transfers cash, appreciated securities or other marketable assets to Carondelet Foundation in exchange for a fixed annuity payment for life and/or a second beneficiary. The donor receives a current income tax deduction based on the present value of the gift. The annuity payment is calculated on the value of the asset, number of beneficiaries (one or two) and the life expectancy of the beneficiaries. Life income beneficiary must be 50 years of age or older. Contact Carondelet Foundation for detailed information.
return

Deferred Gift Annuity
This gift type is similar to a Charitable Gift Annuity, except the payments are deferred to a future date. The longer the deferral period, the greater the payout and charitable deduction will be. This is an excellent gift vehicle for individuals who wish to delay the income or younger individuals wishing to supplement future retirement income while obtaining the largest charitable deduction now. Contact Carondelet Foundation for detailed information.

Charitable Remainder Unitrust or Annuity Trust
The donor irrevocably transfers cash, or appreciated securities or other marketable assets to Carondelet Foundation in exchange for income for life and/or a second beneficiary. Upon the death of the beneficiaries, the trust assets become the property of Carondelet Foundation. The donor receives a current income tax deduction based on the present value of the gift.

If the gift established is a Charitable Remainder Unitrust, the income is a fixed percent calculated annually on the fair market value of the trust assets. If it is a Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust, income will be a fixed percent calculated on the value of the asset at the time of the gift. The number of beneficiaries and the life expectancy of the beneficiaries also determine the amount of life income.

A donor may also establish a Charitable Lead Trust which is the same concept as a Charitable Remainder Unitrust except that the donor will name a charity to receive the annual distribution for a predetermined period time up to 20 years after which the distribution reverts back to family or other beneficiary.

Life Estate Gift
A donor may make a gift by deeding their home to Carondelet Foundation and retaining the right to live in and enjoy their home for life with survivor rights. The donor(s) agree to maintain the home and pay property taxes and insurance. This gift provides the same estate tax benefits as a gift by will. In addition, probate costs are saved.

If the donor becomes unable to remain in the home or maintain it, the remainder value of the gift may be converted to a Charitable Gift Annuity to provide current income.

Consult with your personal, financial or estate advisor or contact Carondelet Foundation for additional information

Life Insurance
One way to make a charitable gift to Carondelet Foundation with minimal effect on your current financial status is to name Carondelet as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy that you own. Although the donor receives no tax deduction for the value of the insurance policy, the annual premiums may be used as a tax deduction. The proceeds are not taxable to the donor’s estate.

Also a donor may name Carondelet Foundation as a primary, contingent or additional beneficiary of a policy. Under these circumstances, the proceeds of the policy are included in your estate at death; however, your estate will receive a charitable deduction. Contact Carondelet Foundation for additional information
return

Beneficiary on Account
An easy way to make a gift is to designate Carondelet Foundation as a beneficiary on a bank account or IRA. These are called Transfer on Death (TOD) or Payable on Death (POD). As these amounts will be removed from your total estate, there will be a reduction in your taxable estate and are not part of the probate process.
