Plan to Give: Live Webinar Series

As we maneuver through this post-COVID “new normal,” the NCF team appreciates the complexities you have to manage. We are here as a backstop as you help your generous clients leverage our tax laws to creatively support their favorite causes. Using a case study approach, attendees will learn to identify opportunities that empower their clients to achieve their philanthropic goals through tax-leveraged use of asset-based gifts of both real estate and ownership in closely held business entities. 

You can expect to increase your knowledge and better understand the myriad technical issues to navigate when advising clients on how to successfully position and complete asset-based gifts.  We will cover income tax deduction rules, unrelated business taxable income (UBTI), unrelated debt financed income, assignment of income issues, self-dealing prohibitions, private benefit prohibitions, and excess business holding (EBH) rules. We will also cover the world of faith-driven impact investments, giving you a more complete understanding of how that mechanism can be a strategic investment and giving strategy for your clientele.

Attendees will learn:

• How to capture multiple tax savings when gifting business interests to charity including S-Corps, C-Corps, LLCs and partnerships.
• Strategies for maximizing charitable giving as part of a larger business succession plan, while minimizing transaction challenges such as UBTI, EBH, and controlling vs. non-controlling interests.
• The difference between using a Private Foundation and Donor-Advised Fund for (family or corporate) grantmaking and philanthropy.
• How gifting income-generating assets or business interests can be used to fund charitable endeavors optimizing charitable goals, business goals, and transition planning even long before a sale is contemplated.
• How to target persona for impact investing, best practices and ways to invest for impact.
