This document discusses planned giving and how it can be done through various methods. Planned giving involves charitable donations that are made as part of an estate or retirement plan. It can be done through revocable gifts like charitable bequests or beneficiary designations, or irrevocable gifts that pay lifetime income to donors such as charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, or lead trusts. Irrevocable gifts that don't pay income include retained life estates or charitable IRA rollovers. The document provides details on the mechanics and tax benefits of these various planned giving methods.
