Gift of Antiques or Collectibles
A gift of an antique or historical artwork or other artifact can be made during your life or under a will, with a tax benefit to you. The value of the income tax deduction may vary depending on how the gift can be used or exhibited, a determination that is made by the Collections Management Committee.

Gift of Life Insurance Policy
As with appreciated stock, this gift can be made in the present and allows you to take a charitable deduction at the time of transfer in an amount your advisors and the insurance company will determine. You designate the Village as beneficiary of the policy and assign ownership to the Village at the same time. The Village will either maintain the policy in effect for your lifetime or consider surrendering it for its cash value, whichever you prefer. If the value of the policy is insufficient to fund premiums going forward, you can consider an annual gift to the Village sufficient to pay the annual premium.

Gift via Beneficiary Designation from your IRA or Other Tax Deferred Plan
Except where a spouse is the designated beneficiary, an IRA is subject to estate tax at the death of the account holder, and distributions from the account are subject to income tax as well. Therefore, a gift to the Village’s Endowment Fund from such an account can be highly tax leveraged, in that the Village would receive 100% of the gift where the beneficiaries of the account holder might in some cases receive less than 50% of the account after estate taxes and income taxes are paid. To establish such a gift, you can simply designate the Village as the beneficiary (or, if you have a spouse, the contingent beneficiary) of the account.
