What Plan Might Work for You
Gift Choices

Your Age & Situation A Gift Solution
Any age/Any Assets You have highly appreciated investment assets like stocks, bonds, real estate and hate the thought of paying capital gains taxes.
Gift solution: Any gift method
Any Age/Any Assets You would like to have control of all of your assets during your lifetime but want to make a legacy gift to the museum.
Gift solution: Bequest in Will or Living trust
50+years/Retirement You have accumulated retirement funds beyond
your need during your lifetime. The potential tax on assets left to anyone other than a spouse may exceed 70%.
Gift solution: Designation of Retirement Plan to Oakland Museum of California
60+ years/$250,000 You want income for life or for a term of years for
yourself, spouse or heirs, you can irrevocably part
with assets worth at least $250,000 for this highly
flexible individualized gift method.
Gift solution: Charitable Remainder Trust
55+ years/$250,000 You do not need additional income now, but want to have some in your retirement years—and want the income tax charitable deduction now.
Gift solution: Deferred Income Charitable Remainder Trust
55+ years/$10,000 You want lifetime income for yourself or someone else, but you do not want to part irrevocably with the amount required for a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT). Minimum initial funding for Pooled Income Fund/Gift Annuity is usually $10,000. Also, often good for the person who can meet CRT amount minimums but who does not require the individual flexibility of the CRT.
Gift solution: Pooled Income Fund/Charitable Gift Annuity
Any Age You would like to give an asset, that has increased in value, such as real estate, but would like to “get something for it” in return that is less than its current market value.
Gift solution: Charitable Bargain Sale
Any Age You no longer have a need for paid-up life insurance which has a cash surrender value. Usually children are no longer dependents and a surviving spouse does not need the policy. Additionally the life insurance is not needed to pay estate taxes or for business purposes.
Gift solution: Gift of Life Insurance Policy
