• Your annual gift provides discretionary monies to allocate to breaking opportunities and new initiatives.

• A pledge is a formal statement of intention to make a gift to the Libforall Foundation.
• It may be followed by an immediate gift, or may confirm your intention to make a gift in the future.
• Many donors choose to fulfill their gift pledges by making regular payments over a specified period of time, giving them the opportunity to make a more generous gift than they may have originally considered.
• When possible, the Libforall Foundation encourages full payment within three to five years of the original pledge.

• Many corporations match, or multiply their employees' gifts, up to a set amount. You may want to ask whether your employer participates in such a program, as well as to determine any restrictions that may apply to their matching gifts.
  

• A gift of long-term appreciated marketable securities can provide you with tax advantages as well as providing the Libforall Foundation with philanthropic support.
• Libforall's Development Office can advise you or your broker about how to facilitate such a gift.

• Securities in a company that is not publicly traded are known as closely held securities.
• A gift of securities may provide the donor with significant tax savings.

• Planned gifts are gift arrangements that have specific tax advantages and often include lifetime income to a beneficiary named by the donor.
• Many Libforall Foundation donors may utilize planned giving methods, enjoying such benefits as capital gains tax savings, increased income, and income-tax savings, while at the same time benefiting the Libforall Foundation.
• A planned gift can maximize your giving potential and even allow you to ensure your future financial security or that of a loved one.

• Your gift to the Libforall Foundation can allow you to hold an interest in that gift for a lifetime, or for a specified period of years after which the funds become available to the Libforall Foundation.
• For example, you can set up a charitable trust, which allows you or a beneficiary to receive income from that trust for a specified period, or for life.
• You can donate your home to the Libforall Foundation while retaining the right to live in it for life.

Gifts of Real Estate

• You may claim an income tax charitable deduction based on the full market value of the gift or eliminate certain costs associated with the transfer of real property when giving a home or real property to the Libforall Foundation.
• Gifts of real estate can also provide an income to you.

• You can now make a gift on-line, or you can contact Libforall's Office of Development by telephone at 336.682.2606, by facsimile at 336.922.9817, or by e-mail at development@libforall.org.
