Planned Giving
Support COT in a Tax-Efficient Way
Death taxes can take a sizeable bite out of your heirs’ inheritance. As a tax-exempt charitable organization, COT is able to keep every dollar donated, and more importantly, donations can provide you with a current income tax deduction. Gifts in your estate plan can reduce death taxes dollar for dollar. Common types of vehicles include:
- Cash
- Appreciated securities
- Death benefits from IRAs and other retirement accounts
- Insurance proceeds
- Real estate, including a remainder interest in a residence
- Specialized trusts such as charitable remainder trusts
We are happy to recognize all charitable gifts accordingly, so please notify the development department if you intend to make a planned gift to COT.
