Planned giving, very simply, is gift planning. It is the process of designing charitable gifts so that the donor realizes philanthropic objectives while maximizing tax and other financial benefits. Planned gifts can make an impact in the short and the long term. As a member, donor, partner, or friend of Blue Metropolis Foundation, several options for deferred gifts are possible:  

• Outright gift of cash
• Bequests
• Life insurance policies
• Charitable remainder trusts
• Gifts of residual interest
• Listed Securities
• Real Estate
• Etc.
