Optimizing Philanthropy

meetingEstablished in 1999. Tompkins Charitable Gift Fund offers a low cost, efficient opportunity for those seeking the benefits of charitable giving. The Fund provides a variety of investment options, handles all administrative functions, and passes the tax benefits on to the donors.

 

Beyond offering clients a convenient, streamlined means to support their favorite charities, the Gift Fund also allows contributions to grow, expanding the scope of philanthropy.

 

For charities and not-for-profit organizations, the Fund is an effective way to manage small endowments.

When you contribute appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax that would normally be paid if you had sold the securities and then donated the proceeds.

 

Tax Strategies:

Individuals may donate appreciated property without the risk of triggering the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
