You can specify your gift toward a general or specific purpose, and may lower your estate taxes. Please consider a percentage or specific dollar amount. For more information please contact Marie E.

Gifting Real Estate or Other Property

Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a unique way to share your good fortune with The Breathing Association.

Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust can be established which will specify how money in the trust will be managed. You can establish a “Unitrust” which fluctuates annually with the fair-market-value of the trust; or you can establish an “Annuity Trust” which pays a fixed amount annually. While living you benefit from the trust income, upon your death, the trust will be used to help the individuals served by The Breathing Association. Charitable remainder trusts have tax advantage options which your advisor can discuss or call Marie E. Collart, President & CEO, at 614-457-4570.
