These methods all represent different ways of achieving the same goal-enacting a philanthropic vision. Working closely with one's alma mater, a favorite charity, or a beloved institution can be a singularly gratifying experience and a unique way of creating a lasting legacy.
Philanthropy can also be an effective way of managing and transferring wealth, including :| Land or real estate | ||
| A business or business interest | ||
| Appreciated assets, including stock or stock options with substantial capital gains | ||
Assets and any income they produce may be transferred entirely to a charity or non-profit organization, or may revert to heirs after death. State and Federal regulations encourage charitable giving and the personal and financial rewards of philanthropy can be great for both donors and donees.
