Rewarding results are not confined
to the unusual situation.

The form of gifts is the most impor-
tant single element from the point of
view of both the donee and the donor
in planning a successful ,program of
charitable giving.

With respect to the donor, as a gen-
eral rule, a program of lifetime giving

creates a larger estate for the benefit

of the donor's family than would be
possible if the donor gave exactly the
same amount, to charity by Will. A

gift during lifetime reduces the do-
nor's income tax and thuS' increases_
the donor's estate by the amount of
the income tax saved. At the same
time, since the donated property is
not included in the donor's taxable

estate, lifetime giving also saves es-
tate taxes.

It is not necessary to give up the in-
come from property in order to make
a gift to charity during the lifetime
of the donor. A gift may be made
with income retained for the life of
the donor and any other person, or
for some other specified period. Such

strument of transfer devised by a
charitable organization or by a trust
agreement or by deed. Gifts to char-
ity with a retained life estate do not
reduce the maximum marital deduc-
tion on the death of the donor from
the deduction perinitted if the donor
had retained the property and dis-
posed of it by Will to charity.

Additionall:, the thoughtful planner
keeps to an absolute minimum any
restrictions on the organization's
right to make free use of the contri-

present value of the right to income
for the actuarial life expectancy of
the donor or for the life of the donor

bution. The most valuable gift, from
the charity's pOint of view, is a gift
immediately available and without
restrictions as to use. A - gift with a
retained life estate also gives the
charity the capacity to make free use
of the funds upon termination of the
life estate. A gift to charity accompa-
nied by substantial restrictions as to
the use of the donations creates diffi-
culty when there is no longer need for
the use specified by the donor.

When you give to charity...

In some unusual situations, the sav-
ings resulting from thoughtful plan-
ning can be startling. For example:
Suppose an individual in the 900
income tax bracket proposes to sell
stock with a cost of $1,000 at its pres-
ent market value of $10,000. After
an income tax of $2,250 on a gain of
$9,000 he will net $7,750. However,
since neither capital gains nor cap-
ital losses are recognized when cap-
ital assets are donated to a charitable
organization, he can donate the stock
and obtain a $10,000 deduction which
will reduce his income tax by $9,000.
The individual will net $1,250 more
than he would have netted had he
sold the stock.
