Ways to Give

 Kay and E.G. VanTrain
Kay and E.G. VanTrain made a gift of stock to establish an endowment at ARCF’s Cleburne County local office.
Outright gifts can be deducted on federal income tax returns. For gifts of appreciated property, you also avoid the capital gains tax. However, your deduction for gifts of property held for one year or less is limited to cost basis. Outright gifts may include:

  • Cash
  • Publicly traded securities
  • Closely held securities
  • Tangible personal property
  • Real Estate
  • Insurance

Life income gifts are “gifts that give back.”

A Charitable Lead Trust allows you to give the income from assets placed in trust to ARCF for a term of years, while retaining the principal for the donor, heirs or third party on the termination of the trust.

Charitable Remainder Trusts make it possible for you to make an irrevocable gift of cash or property, while retaining an annual income stream from the trust. When you use this form of gift, you are allowed an income tax deduction and there is no capital gains tax for gifts of long-term appreciated property.

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a contract between you and Arkansas Community Foundation that gives you the opportunity to make a charitable gift and secure a stream of income for life. You transfer assets to ARCF in exchange for a commitment by ARCF to pay you, and a second annuitant if you choose, a fixed and guaranteed payment for the remainder of your lifetimes.

Donors often make charitable gifts by will. Whether made on an outright, residual or contingent basis, a gift through your last will and testament may be the best choice for you.

Your estate is allowed a deduction for the amount contributed through Arkansas Community Foundation in this way.  Unlike other forms of giving, a gift by will is revocable – that is, the will can be changed as circumstances change.

Donors who make a gift through ARCF in their wills are members of The Diamond Society.
