Pledges and gifts of cash, check, or credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, or American Express) are an easy and convenient way of making a charitable contribution. Check with your financial advisor to determine the tax benefits this type of gift will provide.

You may honor or memorialize someone through your gift or pledge. Pledges of at least $1,000 may be paid over up to three years, on an annual, monthly, or quarterly basis.

Gifts of appreciated securities (bonds and stocks, including stock in closely-held companies) can be used to make an outright gift or to fulfill a pledge commitment. Many people find they are able to make a larger gift using appreciated securities instead of cash.

Whether you wish to simplify your financial life by selling real estate such as vacation homes, rental buildings, lots and farms, contributions of real property can be an attractive alternative. This can include remainder interests in your personal residence, vacation home, or farm.

Consider the following benefits:

  • Avoid capital gains on the sale of the property and take a charitable tax deduction for the fair market value of the real property.
  • Eliminate the burden and some of the expense associated with a commercial sale.
  • Some contributions of real property may provide a life income through a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust.

As a form of giving, charitable bequests provide flexibility since they may be changed at any time. Through a bequest to NCBW, you can improve the quality of life for countless people you may never meet.

Donors making a bequest to the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.  are recognized as part of the Foundation Society, the planned giving society of NCBW, and The NC100BW Society.

Currently subject to both estate tax and income taxes assessed to the individual recipients, your qualified retirement assets passed through your estate could be significantly reduced. Naming the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. as a beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan allows you to designate the total accumulation for charitable causes most important to you. Your spouse can waive survivor rights in favor of a charitable organization or a charitable remainder trust.

Life insurance is often purchased when people want protection for their family, business or estate. However, in later years they often find they do not need all the insurance they did when they were younger. As a result, it may become desirable to use life insurance policies for charitable giving. If you want to achieve immediate tax benefits, consider irrevocably transferring an insurance policy tothe National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.  by obtaining a change of ownership form from the issuing company. Or, you can name the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. as primary, successor, or contingent beneficiary of your insurance.

Charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts provide you with the opportunity to make current commitment to the charity or cause(s) of your choice and receive an income stream for yourself and/or your beneficiaries. These deferred gift vehicles allow you to avoid capital gains tax on a gift of appreciated property, receive an income tax deduction for a portion of the gift, and remove, for tax purposes, the asset from your estate.

The following vehicles can be very helpful to your retirement planning and wealth preservation.

  • Charitable Remainder Trust: you or a loved one can receive a steady income for life and at your passing the "remainder" in the trust can make charitable gifts to the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc..
  • Charitable Gift Annuity: this vehicle guarantees an income to you or a loved one for life and the charitable remainder left at your passing will be contributed to the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.
  • Charitable Lead Trust: your fund can receive a steady income for a period of time and, at the end of the trust period, the principle and growth is returned to you or a loved one.
