“Through the gift of music, we seek to offer praise to God and adorn our worship with beauty. We believe firmly in the power of music to thin the veil between earth and heaven, giving the faithful a glimpse of the celestial banquet. Music is a special and powerful gift from God, and we offer our best back to him to glorify his name, and to bring our parishioners that much closer to the divine.”
— Scott Dettra, Director of Music
The Jalonick Web Family Fund of the Foundation subsidized the 2015 renovation of the church organ.

What tax deduction will donors receive for their planned gifts?
Your tax benefits will depend on several factors including the type of gift, the time at which it is made, whether it is outright or deferred or has any income payments. COTI advises donors to consult with their own advisors before making a planned gift. In general, here are some guidelines:
- Outright gifts generate a charitable deduction that is generally based on their fair market value
- Bequests do not generate current income tax deductions
- Life insurance distributions are not tax deductible. If you have made COTI the irrevocable owner and beneficiary of a policy during your lifetime you may deduct gifts that offset annual premium payments.
- The charitable deduction for a gift that returns income to you is based on the fair market value of the gift asset minus the present value of the income interest that you retain.
-
Will The Incarnation Foundation determine the value of gifts of tangible personal property for a donor’s income tax deduction?
No, this is the donor’s responsibility. The IRS requires that donors of artwork and collectibles secure an independent appraisal of the items to establish fair market value. The appraisal has to be related to the gift – an insurance appraisal won’t suffice.
-
Is The Incarnation Foundation a tax-exempt organization?
The Incarnation Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization incorporated in the state of Texas.
