The Johnsons

A GIFT OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES

• Ted and Marlene own 1,000

shares of stock

• They originally paid $10 per

share or $10,000 more than 11

years ago

$37 per share or $37,000

• If they sell the stock, they’ll have

$27,000 in long-term capital

gain income

• If they are in the 20% LTGC

tax bracket, their bill equals

$27,000x.20=$5,400

• Their net amount after

selling the shares will be

$31,600

The Johnsons

CONTINUED

charity, they bypass all $5,400

of capital gains tax

• Plus, they can deduct the fair

market value of their stock

$37,000 (up to 30% of their

adjusted gross income)

• In addition they get 25%

state tax credit

• They have a 5-year carry

forward, too

Janice Jones

A GIFT OF GRAIN

• Donor gifts 2,500 bushels of

corn

• Elevator transfers ownership of

corn to the Community

Foundation

• Donor does not include the sale

of corn as income (charitable

deduction is $0)

• Donor receives Endow Iowa tax

credit based on actual selling

price of corn ($7.39 per bushel

X 2,500 bushels= $18,475)

• Donor deducts cost of

growing the corn

• Donor saves in self-

employment federal and

state income tax

Charitable Gift Annuities

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is an agreement in

which a donor makes a gift to a nonprofit and in turn

receives guaranteed annual income payments for the

rest of their life and or the life of one other person.

• Donors 62 years of age and older.

• Committed individuals wishing to give, but needing

security of income for retirement.

• Donors wishing for their income stream to be

continued but being relieved of investment

responsibilities.

• Donors with highly appreciated but low income

producing securities or other property.

• The “rate” of payment on each CGA is dependent

upon the age of the donor(s) at the time of the gift.

These rates are determined by the Council on Gift

Annuities.

• The older you are when you start receiving

payments, the larger the payments. These payments

can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually

depending upon the amount.

• Donors can choose to receive a lower rate of return

for their payments if they wish.

payment to my donor?

Keep Iowa GrowingIowa’s Farmland Giving Program

…for the love of the land

Why?Farmland is by far Iowa’s most valuable asset:

Total number of farms 88,631 Total amount of farmland 30.6 million acresAverage farm size 345 acresAverage dollar value per acre $8,716Aggregate value of Iowa farmland

is estimated at $267 billion

Why?

The Community Foundation’s 30 affiliated county community foundations, together with Polk County, hold a combined 9.5 million acres of farmland.

If Keep Iowa Growing captured only 1% of this farmland, the value of assets held for charitable causes would be an estimated $866 million.

What types of Gifts will be accepted through Keep Iowa Growing?

Outright gifts of farmland made during life

Bequests

Retained life interest

For term of years

For term of life donor

For term of life of donor and spouse (“last-to-die”)
