Planned Giving :

Estate Planning

Bequests - A bequest may provide for a specific dollar gift, a percentage of your estate or specific asset(s) to be given to the Corinne T. Smith Animal Center.

Insurance Plans - There are many ways to give a gift of life insurance. Whether you are purchasing a new policy or giving a policy that is no longer necessary or relevant to your needs, the Corinne T. Smith Animal Center can be named as a recipient to receive part or all of the policy proceeds.

Retirement Plans - Giving a retirement plan as a gift (401(k) plans, IRAs, stock bonus plans, etc.), may help reduce taxes for yourself and/or your heirs.

Outright Gifts

Gifts of Securities - Appreciated securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds are a simple method of giving that may allow you tax deductions.

Gifts of Real Estate - Gifts of real estate may include: undeveloped land, a commercial property, a vacation home, or a personal residence. Whether you give a gift of real estate outright or if you make a gift of the remaining interest in that property while you are still using the property, such a gift may entitle you to sizeable tax deductions.

Charitable Lead Trust - The charitable lead trust permits you to make a future transfer of assets to your heirs, while providing a regular, fixed amount of income to the Humane Society of Greater Miami for a specified number of years.

Gifts of Cash - Gifts of cash are the most common form of charitable gift. Tax benefits are available if you itemize your deductions on your tax return. Cash you donate can be exempt from federal income tax.
