Why does the tax deduction help? Because it decreases your out-of-pocket cost of donating a charitable gift. Generally, the effect of the deduction is that the higher your income tax bracket, the more you will save in taxes. Five gift ideas to consider before December 31, 2010: Cash: Nothing is as simple and direct as giving cash. Securities: The best stocks to donate are those that have increased greatly in value. Life Income Gifts: By placing property in a life income gift vehicle, you receive income while making a generous gift. Real Estate: your property can open the door to some unique giving opportunities. Life Insurance: A no-longer-needed life insurance policy is a practical gift.
