A gift of stocks, bonds, land or other investments which have grown in value over time can benefit both you and the Hayward Library Foundation. Such gifts can result in a lower capital gains tax, plus additional tax savings as a charitable contribution.
Real estate, including one’s personal residence occupied for more than one year, is tax deductible at full market value. Capital gains taxes may be avoided. It is possible to make of gift of your home now, receive special tax benefits, and retain the right to live in your residence for the rest of your life and your surviving spouse’s life.
Many people own paid-up policies which they no longer need. One example is life insurance policies for minor children who are now adults with successful careers of their own. In other cases, donating a life insurance policy on which you currently make premium payments actually can result in a much larger gift than you realize. Also, premium payments can be tax-deductible.
A bequest to the Hayward Library Foundation is a wonderful way to honor and remember loved ones and to help provide financial support for the library’s future.

The deferred payment option is available for those who may not need a current income supplement; they may wish to make a gift now to benefit from the tax deduction,
