Among the most popular planned gifts:

Real property may be a very useful asset to give to the Algonquin. A gift of real estate can help Algonquin Arts and enhance your financial condition by providing capital gains tax savings. Should you choose, you could receive income from your gift as well. [ READ MORE ]

Life Insurance Gifts

Life insurance that you no longer need for your family's security may be an attractive asset to donate to the Algonquin. You may contribute a new or an existing policy by naming the Algonquin to be first, second or final beneficiary of all or a portion of the proceeds. Your estate may be entitled to a charitable deduction for the proceeds passing to the Algonquin. [ READ MORE ]
