Planned Giving
A planned gift will significantly impact The CAC’s ability to enhance the safety, healing, and well-being of the children and families we serve. It will also positively affect your current taxes and reduce potential capital gains or inheritance taxes. In structuring all planned gifts, it is important that you consult your legal/financial advisor on its deductibility on your particular financial situation. To learn more about all forms of planned giving, please contact Robert Sanchez, CFO, at rob.sanchez@cac.hctx.net or 713-986-3572.
Charitable Bequest in Your Will
You can designate a bequest gift to The CAC, or one of our programs, in your will. Create a legacy of transformational community change while also positively affecting the inheritance taxes on the remainder of your estate.
Insurance Policies or Retirement Plan Beneficiary
If your current beneficiaries no longer apply, you can designate insurance policies, retirement accounts, and funds to The CAC. The policy or account owned by The CAC is not subject to inheritance taxes.
Charitable Remainder or Lead Trusts
You can choose to state a specific gift amount, provide a percentage, or be structured for either an immediate or deferred payout to you or your beneficiaries over several years. The CAC then receives the balance of the trust or initial payments upon completion of the trust.
Appreciated Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, or Real Estate
You can support The CAC by donating shares of appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate. Your tax-deductible gift can make a difference in the lives of children and also reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes.
Please contact Cassi Donovan, Development Manager, at cassi.donovan@cac.hctx.net or 713-986-3502 if you would like to donate to The CAC or have any questions.
