on the increase in value of your stock. (These
same advantages apply to gifts of real property
if the property has appreciated in value and has
been held longer than 12 months.) As always in
financial matters, please consult your tax advisor
for details. |

Provide an immediate or deferred
income stream for yourself or others, receive
a tax deduction, and know that the residuum will
flow to 4 the World at the annuitant's death.
Payout rates are determined by life expectancies
and are very attractive at higher ages. |
|
| Bequest |
|
Include bequest to 4 the World in
your will. Specify either a fixed amount or a
percentage of your estate. Also remember to include
4 the World as contingent beneficiary in your
will and in your retirement and life insurance
programs (in the event your intended heirs predecease
you). There is no limit on federal estate tax
deductions for charitable contributions. |
|
| Tax-Vulnerable
Qualified Plans |
|
List 4 the World as beneficiary
in your tax-vulnerable qualified plans. Because
tax-deferred retirement arrangements like IRAs
or 401(k) plans can be subject to estate and income
taxes, it can be very efficient to make testamentary
bequests from these accounts by naming 4 the World
as beneficiary for charitable designations from
these accounts. |
