As an added bonus, Your 2008 Personal Planning Guide includes tax-smart ideas that can stretch your support for charitable organizations such as the KFB Foundations: 

  1. How giving securities instead of cash can magnify your support for charitable organizations.
     
  1. How making a large gift, receiving a partial deduction but keeping lifetime income may be a way fro you to make a gift of significance today yet reserving income for yourself or others.
     
  1. If you own a closely held business, you may have “two pockets” from which to give.
     
  1. How making “temporary” gifts of cash or income-producing assets can reduce income taxes and future gift taxes, estate taxes and generation-skipping transfer taxes.
