Twin City Mission offers numerous ways for YOU to make a charitable gift to the Capital Campaign while meeting your own financial goals. Listed below are a number of significant gift opportunities. The Chief Executive Officer will be glad to discuss these options with you.

CURReNT GIFTS

Your gift can be deducted on your federal income tax return, up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Should the gift total exceed the gift ceiling for one year, you can carry over the remaining deduction to succeeding tax years until it is exhausted, or for up to five years, whichever comes first. A cash gift to the campaign is not subject to gift taxes and is removed from your estate for estate tax purposes.

Cash

For many, an outright gift of cash is certainly the simplest method of giving and is usually in the form of a check written from a personal or Trust account. Some prefer to use a credit or debit card for a onetime or regularly scheduled gift.

Pledges

Multi year pledges are an ideal way for donors to provide significant support for Twin City Mission. With payments typically extended over three years, larger gifts may be considered allowing you to appreciate a set schedule of giving. Reminder notices are sent at regular intervals for the convenience of donors.

Matching Gifts

Donors are encouraged to take advantage of Matching Gift programs offered by their employers. Matching a gift to Twin City Mission through such a program can sometimes double, triple, or in some cases quadruple support to the campaign. The impact of your gift multiples just by participating in your employer’s matching gift program.

Securities

Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other securities are among the most advantageous ways of making a contribution. Donors may secure significant tax benefits. To make a gift of appreciated securities, you should notify your broker or banker of your intent to make a gift to Twin City Mission. The broker should notify the Chief Executive Officer directly for instructions on transferring the assets. Twin City Mission has a Letter of Authorization to be used in making these transfers. Be able to substantiate to the Internal Revenue Service the gift value noted on his/her income tax form.

Gifts in Memory

You may make a gift in memory of a family member and/or friend or establish a special memorial fund to which many contributions may be made. Your gift may be designated to a specific purpose, or be unrestricted, allowing the Chief Executive Officer to use your generous gift where the needs are greatest. Those whom you choose to honor and/or their families will receive your warm wishes through a personal acknowledgment from Twin City Mission.

Gifts In-Kind

Non-cash gifts of tangible or intangible property may be donated but will require prior approval before acceptance. Gifts may be used by Twin City Mission or be sold. It is the responsibility or the donor to be able to substantiate to the Internal Revenue Service the gift value noted on his/her income tax form.

PLANNeD GIVING

Wills and Bequest

A will is the most commonly used means to make long-term charitable gift of cash, securities, real estate, or personal property. A bequest is a gift of property granted in a will. Twin City Mission can also be named as beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement-related funds.

Real estate

Almost any type of real property – personal residences, recreational residences, commercial buildings, undeveloped land, or fractional interests in any of these – can be given outright.

Insurance

Fully paid life insurance policies can qualify as tax-deductible for the donor at their entire replacement value if Twin City Mission is named as owner and beneficiary. If Twin City Mission is named owner and beneficiary of a new policy, proceeds are not subject to estate taxes, and premiums may be deductible for tax purposes.

Lifetime Trust

Donations via trusts allow donors to make significant on-going contributions to Twin City Mission and can trigger major tax benefits for donors while assuring them an ample return from the assets placed in the trust.
