Wills and Living Trusts
The most common form of a planned gift is an estate gift to Eight/KAET through a bequest in the donor's Will or a provision in a Living Trust established by the donor. Gifts or bequests in the Will or Living Trust are usually specified in either document as:
-
a specific amount;
-
a percentage of your total estate; or
-
the residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate.

Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities are a very flexible way to make a gift to the Eight/KAET. They can be designed to provide a fixed income for life for you and/or others you choose. They are easy to create and can be funded with gifts of relatively modest amounts (starting at $10,000.) Charitable gift annuities are the second most common vehicle donors use to make a legacy gift.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
A charitable remainder trust lets you convert highly appreciated securities or real estate into income for life or a term of years without incurring capital gains tax when the asset is sold. The appreciated asset is transferred into an irrevocable charitable remainder trust and is then sold by the trustee. The proceeds are reinvested, and you and/or another designated beneficiary(ies) receive income for life or a specified term of years.

Real Estate Gifts
A gift of real estate, such as a personal residence or vacation home, commercial property, or even vacant land, can be a creative way to make a significant gift to Eight/KAET and at the same time receive important tax benefits. The benefits include a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair-market value, avoidance of capital gain tax on the property's appreciation at the time the gift is made, and potentially reduced estate taxes and probate costs.

Retirement/Life Insurance Gifts
Retirement plans, when passed on to heirs, can incur as much as 80 percent in taxes, because these assets face double taxation. Not only is the amount of the plan reduced by potential estate taxes, but the recipient must also pay income taxes on the plan.

Charitable Lead Trusts
Charitable lead trusts offer unique estate planning advantages. Income-producing assets such as stock or real estate are irrevocably transferred to a lead trust, which pays income to an organization such as Eight/KAET for a number of years.
