Improving the world through charitable giving is an important priority for many individuals. In a Spectrem Group survey, more than a third of high-net-worth individuals entering their 50s cited helping others as a primary concern regarding their wealth. Because maximizing the impact of philanthropic giving is typically a top priority, donors should understand the various structures available for making their gifts to determine which best meet their objectives. Giving approaches vary in terms of the level of charitable tax deduction they provide, their amounts of ongoing control, and the ability to generate an income stream to the donor.
