 | Estate planning is an important process that manages your financial wished during life and after death. Plans can be tailored to your individual situation and may include special types of will arrangements, trusts, or annuities that enable you to set money aside for your future, help your children through college, or pay you and your spouse a guaranteed sum for the rest of your lives. Through many of these options you can reduce or delay your tax burden and help Rawhide Boys Ranch.
Below are some of the options we would be happy to discuss with you. Consultation is free and confidential. Please use the link below and fill out the short form. A Rawhide representative will contact you shortly regarding your interest in planned giving. |

|
| Bequest in a Will | | | A donor can designate Rawhide Boys Ranch as the recipient of all or part of his/her estate. However, this can only be accomplished through a will or other estate planning documents. |
|
| Charitable Remainder Trust | | | Either cash or other assets (appreciated stocks) can be put into a remainder trust, which is irrevocable. During the donor's lifetime he/she can receive payments, at least quarterly, amounting to five percent or greater, depending on the age of the donor. At the death of the donor, the remaining balance would transfer to Rawhide. |
|
| Retirement/IRA Account | | | You can transfer your IRA at your death to a qualified charity as beneficiary. Rawhide will not incur any income tax on the proceeds because of its tax-exempt status. |
|
| Charitable Lead Trust | | | Any donor can create a trust naming a charitable beneficiary and specifying the trust terms, then transfer the property to the trust. The Trustee who administers the trust is responsible for the investment of the assets and administration of the trust. The Trustee pays the required amount to Rawhide at specified times and then distributes the remaining balance to the beneficiaries at the end of the trust term. |
|
|
| Life Insurance | | | Life insurance provides many options for a donor to choose from. You may choose to designate Rawhide as the beneficiary, or partial beneficiary, of a life insurance policy. There is no income tax benefit with this option but a possible estate tax benefit. You may also donate existing policies that are no longer needed. Tax deductions may be equal to the policy's cash replacement value. A donor may also purchase a policy and name Rawhide as the owner and beneficiary; the premiums you pay are fully tax deductible. At the donor's death, the charity receives the insurance proceeds. |
|
| Charitable Gift Annuity | | | A donor may transfer a specified amount of money or other property to Rawhide. In return, Rawhide will pay the donor a certain amount (annuity) each year for a specified term or for the remainder of your life. At the death of the beneficiary, Rawhide will use the principal in accordance with the terms of the gift. |
