Planned Giving
Considering making a gift of a lifetime? Planned giving helps to ensure our future and your future through gifts designated in wills, trusts or estate plans.
Charitable Bequests
The easiest and most popular planned gift method is a bequest through one’s will or personal or real trust. Your bequest can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the balance of your estate after you have provided for your loved ones. A charitable bequest enables you to retain your assets during your lifetime, while helping JCP in years to come. Properly executed charitable bequests are an integral part of a comprehensive, tax-wise estate plan.
Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust is both an income-and wealth-transfer vehicle, enabling you to transfer income-producing assets to the next generation at a significantly lower tax cost, while meeting your philanthropic objectives.
Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance may be an affordable and flexible method to establish a planned gift. By purchasing a life insurance policy that names JCP as the owner and beneficiary, you may receive a charitable gift deduction for each premium payment. A paid-up policy allows you to receive a charitable gift deduction approximately equal to the cash surrender value when the policy is donated.
