Maximize your deduction; minimize the gift details. |
Use cash to make your gift to the Art Institute of Chicago. |
Claim your deduction against a larger portion of your adjusted gross income, and make an immediate impact on the Art Institute of Chicago.
|
Avoid capital-gains liability and take an income tax deduction.
|
Use appreciated securities, instead of cash, to make your gift. |
Buy low and give high—while avoiding capital-gains tax.
|
Make a gift for the Art Institute of Chicago's future that costs you nothing now. |
Include a bequest for us in your will (cash, specific property, or a share of the estate residue). |
Today—a painless way to build our financial strength.
Tomorrow—resources that we will put to use. |
Leave more of your estate to your heirs. |
Name the Art Institute of Chicago as beneficiary of your retirement plan, leave less-taxed assets to family. |
Eliminate income tax on retirement plan assets; free up other property to pass to your heirs. |
Get benefits back from the assets you give to the Art Institute of Chicago—and thus afford a larger gift.
|
Create a life-income plan like a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder unitrust.
|
Receive income for your lifetime; receive a charitable deduction; diversify your holdings. |
Reduce gift and estate taxes and leave more of your assets to your heirs. |
Create a charitable lead trust to pay income to the Art Institute of Chicago for a fixed time, then pay the remainder to your heirs. |
Reduce gift and estate taxes, and freeze the taxable value of growing assets before they pass to your family. |
Reduce high-tax liability now; gain additional income later. |
Establish a deferred-gift annuity. |
A larger deduction and a higher fixed payment rate than our other life-income gifts offer. |
