AMCH Planned
Giving
Leaving a Legacy for the Growth of Homeopathic
Medicine
Have you
included AMCH in your will or trust? By simply naming
AMCH as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary in your
will, on your life insurance or IRA, you could leave a
lasting legacy that will empower physicians and
practitioners of natural medicine for generations.
Toward the
end of the year, many people review their long range
estate and financial plans. Wills, life insurance
policies, retirement accounts and other planning
vehicles can offer exceptional opportunities for leaving
a lasting legacy to charitable interests.
There are
also ways to provide for meaningful future gifts while
generating income, immediate income tax savings, and
other benefits today.
AMCH Legacy League
The American
Medical College of Homeopathy honors those individuals
who have remembered the American medical College of
Homeopathy in their estate plan either through a will,
trust, life-income arrangement or other planned gift.
Their generosity is humbling and we are truly grateful.
We are pleased to pay special tribute to their
philanthropic leadership and vision.
When you
notify AMCH about your gift, whether intended or
received, you will automatically be enrolled in the AMCH
Legacy League. If you have already included AMCH in a
bequest or other planned giving, we extend our most
sincere thanks and hope you will let us know. Your
willingness to be listed as a member of the AMCH Legacy
League encourages others to follow your example.
The American
Medical College of Homeopathy would like to honor the
members of the AMCH Legacy League. These individuals
have named AMCH in their estate planning. We are very
grateful for their support.

Gifts From Your IRA
If you are
over the age of 70.5, you may want to consider making
gifts directly from an Individual Retirement Account
(IRA). As part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006,
Congress has made it possible to make tax-free
charitable gifts from your IRA.
Giving in
this way assures that these funds will never be subject
to income or estate tax. This may make it possible to
give more at the same or lower cost than in the past.
Giving Other Assets
Gifts of
property such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other
appropriate assets that have increased in value since
you have owned them can result in extra tax savings. If
you have held such assets for longer than a year, you
can generally give them and deduct their current value,
including any “paper profits” from your taxable income.
Congress has
provided that in addition to regular tax savings, you do
not have to pay capital gains tax on assets given to
charity. This additional tax savings is one reason why
some people choose to make their gifts in this way.
Gifts of
appreciated assets can eliminate tax on up to 30% of
your adjusted gross income. The assets that are best to
give are those that have increased the most in value and
would result in the greatest capital gains tax if sold.
Many also
choose to give low-yielding assets, resulting in little
or no impact on future spendable income.
If you have
investments that have increased in value since you have
owned them, consider selling them and making a
deductible gift of the cash proceeds. This creates a
loss that you may be able to deduct from other taxable
income along with your cash contributions. The amount
of your deductible loss combined with the charitable
deduction may actually amount to more than the current
value of the donated asset.
When making a
gift of securities, check with your financial services
provider to ensure that it is transferred properly and
in a timely manner. You should allow additional time
for gifts of mutual fund shares or non-publicly traded
securities. We will be pleased to assist in this
process.
