Pooled Income Fund
Image 1 A gifts to a mutual fund that is pooled and invested together, and income from the fund is distributed to the fund’s beneficiaries according to their share of the fund. You, or other income recipients you choose, receive quarterly payments for life.
Image 2 For example say you own stock with a value of $50,000. Then you donate the stock to the pooled income fund to eventually fund scholarships for underprivileged students and reserve an income interest for life for yourself. You do not recognize capital gain. Furthermore, since the stock paid no dividends to you, it increases your income. Finally, you would get an income tax deduction of $19,038.
