Planned Giving

Make a Legacy Gift

GIFTS FROM YOUR WILL

You can give to Horizons Savannah without affecting your cash flow during your lifetime. By setting aside a predetermined amount or a percentage of your estate, it preserves your assets and allows you to plan for all of your obligations.

GIFTS FROM A RETIREMENT PLAN

Retirement plan assets left to an heir can be subject to income and estate taxes. Designating some of your retirement plan assets to Horizons Savannah leaves more favorably taxed assets to your heirs.

GIFTS OF STOCK OR APPRECIATED ASSETS

You can transfer securities to Horizons Savannah, and we’ll sell those securities and use the proceeds for our programs. You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, and pay no capital gains tax on these securities. 

GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE

If you transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to Horizons Savannah, we can cash the policy and you receive an immediate tax deduction for the cash surrender value of the policy.
