Nonprofit & Charitable Tax Advisory Services

Many individuals wish to incorporate planned giving into their estate plans. Whether this is a small gift to a local charity, a gift to a national charitable organization, or a gift to a private foundation created by the donor, the attorneys at MacDonald Illig, have the experience and expertise to assist in making your charitable gifts a reality. We are familiar with the various charitable planning tools designed to benefit both the client and the charity, including charitable trusts, private foundations, and other charitable vehicles. Our plans may include the establishment of endowments or scholarship funds.  In every plan we develop, a particular emphasis is given to implementing philanthropic objectives in a manner that provides tax benefits for our clients.

MacDonald Illig's Trusts & Estates Group provides comprehensive advice on organizational, compliance, planning, governance and tax issues facing any type of charitable gift. Through our guidance, we assist charities, private foundations, and other nonprofits in operating in the increasingly complicated, regulated, and competitive environment facing such charitable organizations today.  In addition, we have the capability to assist clients in taking advantage of the Newman's Own exception, which was recently enacted by Congress in late 2018. Our knowledge and expertise is extensive when it comes to charitable planning and we are ready to tackle any charitable gift ideas you have.
