After securing economic stability and providing for the needs of your loved ones, you may choose to make a lasting charitable impact through a Legacy Gift.
Gifts can be structured to benefit the donor or the Oxford Community Arts Center during the donor’s lifetime, or to benefit the Oxford Community Arts Center at the death of the donor. Financial arrangements might be:
- Bequest: The bequest through your will or trust enables you to retain the asset during your life and provides significant support to the Oxford Community Arts Center when you no longer require the asset.
- Insurance: An existing or a new policy may be donated (in full, in-part, or with a percentage) or the Legacy Endowment Fund may be named a beneficiary.
- Retirement Plan Assets: When bequeathed to the Oxford Community Arts Center, your Retirement Plan Assets may be transferred tax-free.
- Stocks and Bonds: Gifting property that has appreciated allows the donor a tax deduction for market value.
Please be sure to consult with your own legal and/or financial advisor as you begin to develop your giving plans.
