There are many forms which your charitable gift may take and, at the same time, address your own personal financial needs. This might include the need to reduce income or estate tax, the need for income, the need to eliminate an appreciated asset, etc. The gifting technique chosen should help you accomplish your goal through a very personalized strategy and provide the benefits you are looking for.
