• It is revocable.
• It reserves all of the assets for your use if you need them.
• It can save taxes for you and your estate.
• It can make more money in your estate available to your family and friends.

Gifts of Grain

You can gift grain to benefit Schowalter Villa while also deducting the cost of production and potentially qualifying for other tax benefits as well. You sell the commodity and the buyer writes the check to Schowalter Villa (also forwarding a scale ticket or auction receipt). Or, you can designate an amount of grain to be held at an elevator for Schowalter Villa, notify the fund advancement office, and we will direct the sale.
