Planned Gifts

A planned gift can, as part of thoughtful financial planning, allow individuals to make larger charitable gifts than they thought possible.

Planned gifts, such as a gift annuity, pooled income fund, or charitable remainder trust can be an excellent gift vehicle for individuals with highly appreciated assets, who are also seeking greater lifetime income.

Such gifts can, if structured correctly, provide significant tax advantages and an increased stream of current income, while ultimately benefiting vision research.

Planned gifts to That Man May See for the Beckman Vision Center are managed by the UCSF Foundation. The Foundation can provide skilled planned giving assistance to anyone seeking financial or tax-related advice on ways to maximize their giving in support of vision research.

NEW DONATION OPPORTUNITY - Transfer Your IRA to That Man May See

For some friends of That Man May See looking for the most tax-effective way to contribute to vision research, your individual retirement account (IRA) may be the best choice.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 presents a new giving opportunity. The law allows individuals aged 70½ or older to make gifts now to qualified charitable organizations like ours using funds transferred directly from their IRAs. Furthermore, these individuals will not have to pay taxes on the amounts transferred. You can transfer any amount you desire up to $100,000 on or before Dec. 31, 2007.

Benefits to You While Supporting Vision Research

• The transfer counts toward your minimum required distribution as long as you have not yet received your 2007 distribution.

• The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you will receive the benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.

• You can enjoy the difference your charitable gift makes to That Man May See

Your Long-Range Strategy

Another tax-wise strategy is to name That Man May See as beneficiary of all or a portion of your IRA assets. By naming TMMS as beneficiary of your IRA, you can leave us a gift that is free of all income and estate taxes because we are a charitable organization.
