Smith’s Inspiring Donations
Register your Rewards Card through the Inspiring Donations program, link it to the Seven Canyons Trust, and a portion of your eligible purchases support us.
Planned Giving
A gift commitment, over time or at death, included in your overall financial and estate planning. They can be made in a variety of ways to realize tax benefits and income for life. Remember, this information is general in nature. A professional tax or legal advisor should be consulted on how to structure gifts. For giving, include the following language after stating your gift: “Seven Canyons Trust (EIN: 46-5507868), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.”
Bequest
A simple way to make a gift is through your will or living trust. Name Seven Canyons Trust the beneficiary of specific assets (stocks and securities), a portion of your estate, or the residual after payment of other bequests. Bequests are free from federal estate tax and offer substantial tax savings.
Real Estate Donations
Live on top of an underground creek or have one flowing through your property? Use a retained life estate to deed your property to our organization after an agreed term, and create an immediate income tax deduction. After the term, we will uncover, restore, and provide access to the creek in your legacy.
Retirement Plan Beneficiary
Designate the Seven Canyons Trust as partial or total beneficiary of your retirement plan (IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other qualified retirement plan). This gift is free of estate and income tax, and is distributed outside of your will.
Life Insurance Gifts
Name Seven Canyon Trust as a beneficiary of your new or existing life insurance policy. Have a fully or partially paid policy that is no longer needed? Assign us as the owner and receive estate tax benefits.
Donor Advised Fund
A flexible and tax-efficient way to give to the Seven Canyons Trust. Contribute cash, stocks, securities, or other assets to a donor advised fund and take an immediate tax deduction. Funds are grown tax-free through investment and given in grants to our organization.
Charitable Trusts
Transfer assets into a trust to generate income for you or your beneficiaries and provide long-term support for our organization. In a Charitable Remainder Trust, income is payable to the beneficiaries and, at termination, the remainder of assets is given to the Seven Canyons Trust. In a Charitable Lead Trust, income payments are given to our organization and, at the end of the term, assets are transferred back to the beneficiaries. Both options have tax benefit implications.
