Practicing generosity can be simple in theory but the legal and tax environment we live in demands careful planning in order to optimize your personal objectives, the beneficiaries' interests, and the funds involved. Maybe you want to give now but haven't yet decided how the funds should be dispersed. Maybe you need to give now to achieve a tax-planning strategy but need more time to decide where the funds should go?
Covenant Foundation was established to facilitate giving now while providing you the luxury to decide when and where the funds should be disbursed.
- Fulfill your giving objectives and realize valuable tax advantages by giving now
- Have the time to properly consider how to best fulfill your philanthropic intentions
- Gain a better platform for inviting others to join you in the practice of your philanthropy
- Establish an enduring endowment
- Gain a mechanism for giving anonymously should you want to
Giving you Time to Make the Right Giving Decisions
Covenant Foundation will hold your donations in trust until you decide where and when they should be directed. This can provide current Covenant Capital Management clients with a continuity of management, as funds can remain in the same place until they are dispersed. You also have the option of setting up an enduring endowment through which your beneficiaries enjoy the returns while the principle remains intact.
Anonymous Giving
Where desired, the Covenant Foundation allows you to make donations anonymously and still receive the same tax benefits. Charities of your choosing can receive gifts from "Covenant Foundation" on behalf of an anonymous donor and can include any other anonymous communications you want.
