Planned Gifts

Bequests
A gift of cash or property made through a will or living trust continues your tradition of giving.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
By placing assets in a charitable trust, you or your designated beneficiary can enjoy lifetime income from the trust and tax benefits at the same time. Upon termination of the trust the remainder goes to Five Valleys Land Trust.

Charitable Gift Annuities
In exchange for a gift of cash, marketable securities or – in some cases – real estate, Five Valleys will contractually guarantee to pay you and/or your beneficiary a specified annuity. The annuity can be immediate or deferred and can provide substantial income and estate tax benefits.

Charitable Lead Trusts
A charitable lead trust provides for a gift of an income interest to Five Valleys Land Trust from property placed in the land trust for a term of years, after which the property reverts to you or a non-charitable beneficiary you designate.

Life Insurance
With Five Valleys Land Trust named owner and beneficiary of a paid-sup insurance policy, Five Valleys gains support and you receive a charitable deduction.
