Maximize your tax savings while giving to the causes you care most about.
Without working with a wealth manager to establish effective charitable giving strategies, many affluent families may end up paying enormous amounts of their wealth to the government in the form of taxes. However, with the right giving plan, you can optimize your charitable gifting strategy, reduce your taxable income, and give yourself more control over where your money is spent — using the wealth you save to better the lives of your family and give back to your community instead.
At Avidian Wealth Solutions, our multi-disciplinary team of highly qualified professionals, including Certified Financial Planners™, investment specialists, investment analysts, estate planning specialists, and MBAs, are well-equipped to guide you in creating a tax-efficient charitable giving strategy that achieves your philanthropic visions, preserves your wealth, and protects your assets.

Estate tax planning is an integral part of creating tax strategies for high-net-worth individuals.

Avidian Wealth Solutions can work with you and your existing team of attorneys to utilize the planned giving strategies that align best with your charitable visions and tax strategy. These strategies may include one or more of the following:
Donor-advised funds act as tax-advantaged, charitable investment vehicles that allow you to personalize your contributions and recommend grants, giving you the freedom to choose how each of your charitable dollars is used.
In comparison to a private foundation, a donor-advised fund gives you:
Charitable remainder trusts allow you to donate highly appreciated assets, like bonds, stocks, or real estate, into an irrevocable trust. This creates an opportunity for donors to give assets to charity while continuing to receive either fixed or variable income from the property.
While this strategy doesn’t necessarily eliminate long-term and short-term capital gains tax, you do receive a tax deduction when you make the contribution and it does allow you to set a payout rate that meets both your financial objectives and your philanthropic goals.
Qualified charities will allow you, the donor, to make a sizable donation in exchange for a fixed stream of income, or an annuity, for an agreed-upon timeframe. Depending on the charity, you can donate everything from cash to securities and other assets. These donations do qualify as partial charitable giving tax deductions and can be an effective way to offset or limit capital gains tax if the charity accepts non-cash assets.
