Tip of the Day

Same gift, better deduction

We've told you that a donation using appreciated securities produces a charitable deduction in the amount of the full, fair market value of the stock, with no liability for capital gains — a great tax benefit!

Pooled Income Fund

How It Works

  You transfer cash or securities to the pooled income fund.

  The trust issues you units, like a mutual fund, and pays you, or up to two income beneficiaries you name, the annual income attributable to your units for life.

  The principal attributed to your units passes to KCET when the last income beneficiary passes on.

Benefits

  • You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift to the trust.
  • You pay no capital gains tax on any appreciated assets you donate.
  • Income can exceed dividends you were receiving on the securities you donated.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a gift that benefits you now and KCET later.
