Securities, Annuities, and Life Insurance
As stock prices increase, so do the taxes you owe on the long-term capital gain, which are generally charged at a rate of 15 percent (0 percent if you are in the 10 and 15 percent tax brackets) through 2012. When you donate publicly traded stock, which you have owned for more than one year to a qualified charitable organization such as Happy Hollow Children’s Camp, you enjoy two major tax benefits.
- Annuities
- Life Insurance
Benefits
- You will be exempt from paying capital gains taxes on any increase in value-taxes you would pay if you had otherwise sold the securities.
- You are entitled to federal income tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the securities, regardless of their original cost.

Benefits
- Simplicity – Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed.
- Flexibility – Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind at anytime.
- Versatility – You can structure the bequest to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to us.
- Tax Relief – If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift’s full value.
