Definition: Planned Giving is a set of ways a donor can leave money/assets to a nonprofit at his/her death; or a way to invest money so that the donor receives benefits during his/her life and then bequeaths the remaining funds to the nonprofit.
Planned Giving is a complex program of various financial instruments that can be adapted to each donor’s needs.
Also Known As: gift planning deferred giving
A planned gift can be a gift now or in the future and offers substantial tax and estate planning benefits. It is one of the greatest opportunities you will ever have to provide special benefits for your family, friends and your favorite charities.
A donor can be any age; give any amount, use most any asset and achieve personal, financial and philanthropic goals through a bequest.
