Turning Your Business Sale into a Force for Good

As you prepare to sell your business, consider the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the causes you care about. By strategically incorporating charitable giving into your succession plan, you can maximize your tax benefits and leave a meaningful legacy.

Why Charitable Giving?

  • Tax Advantages: Reduce your tax liability by donating appreciated assets.
  • Legacy Building: Create a lasting impact on your community and the causes you care about.
  • Enhanced Reputation: Strengthen your brand and attract like-minded customers and employees.
Strategies for Charitable Giving
  1. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs):
    • Donate assets to a trust that provides income to beneficiaries for a specified period.
    • The remaining assets are transferred to your chosen charity upon the termination of the trust.
  2. Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs):
    • Contribute assets to a charitable fund and receive immediate tax benefits.
    • You can recommend grants to charities over time.
  3. Private Foundations:
    • Establish a private foundation to support specific charitable causes.
    • Enjoy greater control over your giving and potential tax advantages.
  4. Direct Donations:
    • Make outright donations to charities of your choice.
