Greg Baker

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Advanced

Subchapter S Corporations are the most widely-used business structure in America, so every gift planner will run into S-corporation owners. Come learn how to get gifts from the business and of the business. Because of their unique characteristics, a gift of S-Corporation stock to your organization or to a CRT or CLT can create extreme problems for your donor and for your organization. This advanced session will use a case study approach to describe how business owners think about their charitable giving while also addressing how our due diligence action steps need to differ because your donor owns a Subchapter S Corporation.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand the unique characteristics of Subchapter S Corporations. 
  2. Learn four ways gifts of S-corporation gifts are different from other business interest gifts.
  3. Learn how S-Corporations interact with gift planning tools, including CRTs, CLTs, CGAs, and outright gifts.
