Important Tax Note
The Leota Braun Charitable Foundation, Inc. has been designated by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)3 organization. Gifts may therefore be tax deductible for federal income, gift and estate tax purposes. Consult your tax advisor for details.

Something to think about…
Do you need or want to make a large tax deductible contribution to charity this year, but do not know to what organization? You can create a donor-advised charitable trust fund within the Leota Braun Charitable Foundation, Inc., donate to it this tax year, and designate a charity or charities at a later time to be the beneficiaries of your generosity. Your gift will even earn income until the time it is distributed. Consult a foundation director.
