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-publically traded securities. We will be pleased to assist in this process.
