Frequently Asked Questions

Giving to the NCA Charitable Trust
 

 

WHAT IS THE CHARITABLE TRUST?
The NCA Charitable Trust is the charitable wing of the Newfoundland Club of America. The mission of the Charitable Trust is to secure donations, manage and distribute funding in support of research grants studying health issues affecting the Newfoundland dog, provide monetary aid for Newfoundland rescue assistance and award educational scholarships to junior Newfoundland fanciers. Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) separate from the NCA, Inc. donations to the Charitable Trust are income tax deductible.

 

WHAT IS PLANNED GIVING?
"Planned giving" is a term commonly used to describe a wide variety of giving vehicles that allow you to give to charity during your lifetime and/or after your death, while meeting your current income needs and providing for your heirs. Planned giving is typically done in conjunction with estate planning, and is a viable option for donors of all income levels.

 

From a donor's perspective, planned giving is attractive for many reasons. It may allow you to make larger gifts than you otherwise could out of your current assets. Depending on how a planned gift is set up, it may also let you receive a stream of income for life, earn higher investment yield, or reduce your capital gains or estate taxes. Planned gifts often appeal to people who want to benefit a charitable organization but aren’t certain how much of their assets they’ll need for themselves during their lifetimes.

Contributions to the NCA Charitable Trust are eligible for the maximum income and estate tax charitable deductions available for gifts to a public charity.
