1748 Society
The
1748 Society is a group of caring individuals who have joined together
to preserve a more than 270 year tradition at Wilmington Friends School --
offering young people an education that is rich in the Quaker values
of intellectual independence, moral principles, academic rigor,
and concern for others. Society members include alumni, current
parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends
of WFS. Regardless of their affiliation, members share a common
commitment to ensuring that Friends School has the financial resources
necessary to advance its mission.
To
accomplish this, each member of the 1748 Society agrees to make
a special planned gift to Friends School -- a gift that will have
lasting impact. These gifts are placed in endowment to secure the
long-term future of the school.
What is a Planned Gift?
A planned gift is any gift that is carefully designed to maximize
a donor's financial and estate plans while, at the same time, supporting
the long-term financial stability of an institution through endowment.
Planned gifts can take a variety of forms. The simplest one is a
bequest, which is the inclusion of Friends School in your will.
Cash, securities, real estate, and tangible property can all be
given through a bequest.
Another
type of planned gift -- the Life-Income Gift -- allows you to contribute
to Friends School now, enjoy immediate tax benefits, and retain
an income stream for the rest of your life. Life-income options
at Friends School include Gift Annuities, the WFS Pooled Income
Fund, Remainder Trusts, and Lead Trusts.
Other
planned giving options include naming Friends School as the owner
and/or beneficiary of a life insurance policy or giving a residence
while retaining the right to live in it for life or a period of
years (Retained Life Estate).
Significant
estate, gift, and income tax benefits are associated with all of
these options, and the Development Office can give specific figures
for any gift you are considering. You will:
- get
an immediate charitable tax deduction with a 5-year carry over
if needed.
- receive
regular income for the rest of your life.
- increase
your income from low-yield assets.
- avoid
or save capital gains tax on appreciated assets.
- reduce
your estate taxes for qualifying estates.
- free
yourself of the burden of managing an investment.
- be
giving a gift that benefits generations to come.
