The Impact of Estate Planning Gifts
The impact of gifts left in wills and trusts to the Flagler County Education Foundation can be seen in every hallway, classroom, and Flagler Schools’ graduates. Estate planning gifts can help pay for scholarships, resources and supplies, educational programs, housing for homeless students, literacy growth, and professional development. This allows students to pursue their academic and career dreams and equips classrooms with the necessary materials for a comprehensive education. Your gift could also secure shelter for families, develop innovative projects to foster creativity and critical thinking, and promote professional development to help teachers inspire and engage their students.

6 Ways To Have Lasting Impact
Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust is a tax-exempt irrevocable trust designed to reduce individuals' taxable income by first dispersing income to the trust's beneficiaries for a specified period and then donating the remainder of the trust to the Flagler County Education Foundation.
Life Insurance
The payout from a life insurance policy (called a death benefit) can be a legacy that far outlasts your time on earth. And it's not only for people who want to leave a legacy to their spouse & children. A life insurance policy can change many different people's lives, or even an entire community, after you're gone.
Qualified Charitable Distribution
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a direct distribution from an IRA to an eligible charity, bypassing the account owner. Individual retirement account owners who are at least age 73 can contribute some or all of their IRAs to the Flagler County Education Foundation.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities are not related to annuities offered by insurance companies. Under this arrangement, the donor gives money, securities, or real estate, and in return, the charitable organization agrees to pay the donor a fixed income. Upon the donor's death, the assets pass to the charitable organization. Charitable gift annuities enable donors to receive consistent income and potentially manage taxes.
Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust is an irrevocable trust designed to provide financial support to one or more charities for some time, with the remaining assets eventually going to family members or other beneficiaries. Charitable lead trusts are often considered to be the inverse of a charitable remainder trust.
Real Estate
A direct gift is the simplest method of donating real estate. The deed or title is transferred from the donor to the charity. As the donor, you generally receive a tax deduction equal to the property's fair market value, and that education may be carried forward for five years.
