Planned Giving

One unique way to support 好色先生 Foundation is through our planned gift program. Through favorable tax treatments, planned giving offers ways to make more significant gifts for the Foundation than you may have thought possible.
There are a number of different types of planned gifts accepted by Moraine Valley Community

College Foundation including:

  • Revocable trusts and wills
  • Gifts of tax-deferred retirement assets
  • Gifts of real estate
  • Gifts of Life insurance

Planned giving is different for each person and the Foundation is here to support donors by helping them clarify options to meet their personal financial goals and take advantage of charitable tax deductions.

To maximize your income, capital gains and estate tax savings, you may wish to plan your gift in one of the following forms.

A donor may give a paid life insurance policy to 好色先生 Foundation, naming the Foundation as both owner and irrevocable beneficiary. Donor may also give a life insurance policy that is not paid up if the Foundation is assured there is a reasonable expectation that the donor will continue to make gifts that will be at least equal to the cost of the premium of the policy.

A bequest is a gift of any amount or form made to the 好色先生 Foundation in a donor鈥檚 will. Bequests play a vital role in our capacity to support the future Moraine Valley students. Although the Foundation hopes not to receive your gift for many years, sharing your plans will enable us to acknowledge your thoughtfulness and generosity during your lifetime. The type of bequest most appropriate for your situation can be determined by consulting with your attorney and/or financial advisor. Bequests may be made in the following ways:

  • Specific Bequest. Stipulates an amount, a percentage, or particular securities or other assets.
    (Sample Language- I give to the 好色先生 Foundation (FEIN #), located in Palos Hills, IL, the sum of $___________ (or asset) to be used for its general support)
  • Residual Bequest. States that all or a portion of your estate be given after specific amounts are distributed to other beneficiaries.
    (Sample Language- I give to 好色先生 Foundation (FEIN #), located in Palos Hills, IL, all (or state a percentage) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be used for its general support)
  • Contingent Bequest. Directs that your assets be distributed if your primary heirs do not survive you.
    (Sample Language- If (insert name) is not living at the time of my demise, I give to 好色先生 Foundation (FEIN #), located in Palos Hills, IL, the sum of $ _______ (or all or a percentage of the residue of my estate) to be used for its general support)

With a charitable lead trust, the Foundation receives the 鈥渓ead interest鈥 payments annually, and the donor or their family members receive the assets (remainders) of the trust when the trust is terminated. As a specialized estate planning tool, the charitable lead trust offers effective benefits if the donor has substantial estate and gift tax liabilities.

One of the most effective estate planning tools is the charitable remainder trust (CRT). An irrevocable tax-exempt trust, a CRT comprises two parts: income interest and remainder interest. For a designated period (e.g., the joint lives of the grantor and spouse), the income from the trust is paid to the grantor or the grantor鈥檚 heirs. At the conclusion of the designated period, the remaining trust assets become the property of the named charity or charities. Although the trust is irrevocable, the charitable beneficiary/beneficiaries of the trust can be changed by the donor during the term of the trust.

A Gift That Keeps on Giving

Justin Kapelinski, Recipient of the Standard Bank and Trust Company Scholarship

鈥淚 wasn鈥檛 sure what I wanted to do, so I decided to come to Moraine Valley to save money. It offered the perfect opportunity to explore my interests. Plus, I could live at home and work,鈥 says Moraine Valley student Justin Kapelinski. He started out taking business classes, but after working as a student aide in the Academic Advising Center, he knew he wanted to go in a different direction. 鈥淚 realized I wanted to work in a profession where I could engage and help people. It鈥檚 great when people get a smile on their faces because you gave them the right answer,鈥 he says.

Justin applied for the Foundation scholarship as part of an assignment in his high school honors English class. He was proud to receive it because it was based on academics rather than financial need. 鈥淪cholarships like these help give students an academic goal to work toward,鈥 he says. 鈥淚t was a good feeling to know I had to earn it.鈥

After Justin visited the college鈥檚 Counseling and Career Development Center, he decided to pursue a dual major in communications and psychology, with a long-term goal of becoming a physical therapist. And once he has success in that caring profession, he plans to give back. 鈥淚鈥檇 like to create my own scholarship to help others who need support,鈥 he says.

Pledges allow you to make a contribution with payments spread over a period of time. Reminders will be sent to you about your commitment on a schedule that is established by you.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, gifts of long-term appreciated property can be highly advantageous because the allowable deduction is based on the securities鈥 market value at the time the gift is made, not your cost. No tax is imposed on capital gain. We recommend you discuss donating securities with your attorney or tax advisor.

The 好色先生 Foundation always welcomes in-kind contributions. Such gifts have included equipment, fine arts, books, and other collections and supplies from various corporations and individuals that have benefited faculty, staff and students.

A thoughtful way of remembering someone special and creating a living legacy is by making a gift to the Foundation in honor, or in memory, of an individual. Memorial gifts can include a scholarship in the name of the person, or a room or building dedication.

Life insurance policies can name the Moraine Valley Foundation as the beneficiary in full or in part. A gift of whole life insurance can be made to the Moraine Valley Foundation by naming the Foundation as the irrevocable owner and beneficiary of the policy. Gifts of life insurance policies require charitable contributions from the donor to the Foundation in the amount of any premiums, including unscheduled premiums, which may become due.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or company plans, like life insurance proceeds, may be left to the Moraine Valley Foundation by naming the Foundation as beneficiary.

Moraine Valley employees may make one-time and continuing contributions to the Foundation via payroll deduction during the Foundation鈥檚 annual giving campaign.
