Cash Gift Cash (usually in the form of a check) is the most common
form of charitable gift the Oregon Nikkei Endowment receives. Depending
on your tax bracket, all or part of your donation will lower your federal
income tax when you itemize deductions. Online donations are accepted. Please send all contributions

Making cash donations or contributing to the permanent collections are important and much appreciated. If you have any extra office supplies or other equipment, please consider donating your items to Oregon Nikkei Endowment: Wish List
Library Wish List The Legacy Center's library is a wonderful resource, and we rely on book and media donations from the community to keep it up to date: Library Book Wish List (pdf) Securities Over the years many of us have enjoyed significant gains in the stock market. If you own stock, bonds, or mutual funds that have appreciated in value, you have a unique opportunity to realize tax savings not once, but twice, by making an outright gift to the Oregon Nikkei Endowment. How is this possible? First, you can earn a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities, as long as you owned them for more than one year. Second, you can avoid taxes on capital gains that you'd have to pay if you sold the securities and donated the proceeds. Say, for example, you own $20,000 worth of stock that you purchased three years ago for $5,000. You've committed yourself to making a sizable gift to ONE. Your accountant shows you two alternatives for making this gift.
If you sold the stock and gave the proceeds to Oregon Nikkei Endowment,
you would have to pay a capital gains tax on $15,000. By donating the
stock directly to O.N.E., however, you could completely avoid all capital
gains tax and realize a larger net tax savings. Vehicle Donation Oregon Nikkei Endowment accepts vehicles for donation. If you would like to donate a vehicle, follow these steps:
Planned Giving Planned giving is a gift to charity that is coordinated with financial and estate planning to serve both your philanthropic and personal needs. Planned giving incorporates a number of financial and tax benefits, and may take the form of bequests (described below), charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts, and other instruments that can guarantee you an income for as long as you live. Wills and Bequests Your will is your assurance that the disposition of your estate will be carried out according to your wishes. And while you're at it, won't you please consider a gift to support the continuing work of the Oregon Nikkei Endowment? Remember Oregon Nikkei Endowment in your will. A gift by will is known as a bequest, or a legacy. A bequest is, in every sense of the word, the ultimate gift. When donors name the Oregon Nikkei Endowment as the beneficiary of these gifts, it renews our determination to work harder for our cause in the knowledge that someone felt strongly enough about what we do to include us in their family. Bequests can be simple or complex. You should, of course, discuss your estate plans with your family and your financial and legal advisors. Bequests may include cash, securities, real estate, other property, life insurance, retirement assets, or a percentage of your estate. Federal Estate Tax Savings An outright gift to Oregon Nikkei Endowment from your estate (whatever the amount, and whether it is expendable or for endowment) is entirely free from federal estate taxes. O.N.E. is able to make use the full amount of your gift. Bequests to individuals, on the other hand, are taxed significantly and may reduce your bequest by as much as 55 percent. Other Advantages of Bequests Giving by bequest costs nothing now, yet it may give you a great deal of satisfaction to know that your future gift will live on. Bequests are very private. You may make a bequest anonymously and change it at any time. How To Do It To make a gift to Oregon Nikkei Endowment from your estate, simply include a statement to that fact in a properly signed will or trust instrument. If you already have a will, you can add a codicil with the details of your bequest, or amend your present trust instrument. To ensure that your exact intentions are carried out, your estate planning documents should be prepared in consultation with your attorney and financial advisor. Naming Oregon Nikkei Endowment in your will or trust can be as simple as including the following sentence:
Our legal title is: Oregon Nikkei Endowment, Inc. Please call for our tax ID and further instructions. For more information on how to include O.N.E. in your estate plan, have your financial advisor contact Aaron Sanstrum or Sherry Muramatsu at:
A Gift Annuity is an agreement between you and the Oregon Nikkei Endowment. In return for your gift of cash or securities, you receive fixed payments for the rest of your life. You may, if you choose, name a beneficiary other than yourself. Because the amount of fixed payments you receive is based on your life expectancy, the older you are when your gift annuity begins, the higher your rate of return. You may choose to receive payments monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or once annually. You can even defer receipt of payment for a number of years. The Oregon Nikkei Endowment is obligated by law to make payments to you or your designated beneficiary for as long as you live. Please call ONE at 503-224-1458 for details. Tax Benefits Not only do you receive a federal income tax deduction
in the year you make the gift, a portion of your guaranteed annual payments
are also tax-free. The older you are, the greater the tax free percentage
of each payment you receive. Trusts are formal legal arrangements with a designated trustee, who receives and holds legal title to property and administrates the property according to your instructions. Trusts can be established to conform to almost any financial or administrative function you choose. For example:
When a Trust Makes Sense Trusts can be very simple, or they can be as complex as necessary to meet your financial, charitable, and personal goals. For example, they can be used if you:
For gifts of publicly traded securities, you also are partially shielded from capital gains taxes. |
