Since 1973, South Community Inc. has been providing behavioral
healthcare services to the community. The Community of Compassion Legacy Society was
established to help provide for the long-term financial stability of South Community. The
Community of Compassion Legacy Society represents committed people that have seen the
impact of South Community on the lives of many in our community. It is a reminder of
South Community's vision to excel in providing community-based behavioral healthcare
services in such an effective manner that our consumers will be empowered to pursue an
optimal quality of life. South Community has created
an Endowment Committee comprised of staff and community volunteers. Our Endowment
Committee is involved in key decisions regarding how we share our community of compassion
message.
The Community of Compassion Legacy Society is dedicated to
furthering South Community's long-term goal of providing programs and services for future
generations through planned, charitable gifts. Gifts may be made in a variety of
ways to help maximize your charitable benefits. A direct gift may be
the most convenient way for you to make a contribution. Your donation will directly
benefit our consumers.
SOUTH COMMUNITY CAN PROVIDE
YOU AND/OR YOUR ADVISORS WITH MORE INFORMATION AS NEEDED FOR ANY OF THE BELOW DONATION
OPTIONS
Gifts of long term capital gains assets
(appreciated assets held more than one year) may save you taxes and maximize your
gift. Each of the below listed giving options offer varied estate, gift, or income
tax advantages that may increase the value of your estate and enable you to do more than
you may have ever dreamed possible.
BEQUEST BY WILL
A bequest to South Community through a Will
permits your family to retain the use of your assets or property during your lifetime.
Bequests may be designated for a percent of your estate, a specified amount or the
remaining property after all other obligations are fulfilled.
LIFE INSURANCE
When the added protection of
an insurance policy is no longer needed, transferring the policy's ownership to South
Community can result in tax benefits for you and serve as a gift for South
Community. South Community also can be included as a beneficiary, contingency
beneficiary or owner of a new or existing policy.
RETIREMENT FUNDS
You can designate South Community as the
beneficiary or contingency beneficiary of your retirement plan assets. Since retirement
plans are more heavily taxed than other estate assets, this can significantly reduce your
estate tax liability and eliminate the income tax that would be payable by a beneficiary
other than a charitable organization.
CHARITABLE REMAINDER
TRUSTS
A Charitable Remainder Trust can provide
income to you or other individuals you designate for the beneficiary's lifetime or for the
trust's term. Thereafter, the trust principal will go to the South Community Endowment
Fund.
CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST
A Charitable Lead Trust may
be used to build South Community's Endowment Fund over time while providing you with
beneficial tax deductions. At the end of the trust's term, the remaining assets are
transferred to specified individuals or to you.
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES
A Charitable Gift Annuity can be established
through The Dayton Foundation by making a gift or cash or securities worth at least
$10,000. The annuity guarantees a fixed stream of income for life for you and/or
your other designated individuals and provides an immediate income tax deduction for the
gift. Upon the death of the last beneficiary, any remaining amount will go the South
Community's Endowment Fund.
