Wealth Generation for Nonprofit Executives


Split Dollar Retirement Plans for Large Not-For-Profits

Successful companies have three goals for Top Tier executives:

·       Recruit

·       Retain

·       Reward

Not-for-profits are at a serious disadvantage in offering wealth-building opportunities for top-tier executives compared to for-profit companies.  For-profit companies of similar size as not-for-profits may offer stock options and grants to help the executives create wealth. There is no option for equity wealth-building in a not-for-profit.

A not-for-profit may offer a Split Dollar loan plan that can provide a significant tax-free benefit. Most importantly, all costs are recoverable to the not-for-profit.

In for-profit companies, grants and bonuses are generally taxable to employees and an expense to the corporation. The Split Dollar Retention plan is a complicated transaction in that it requires an experienced life insurance agent and a competent attorney familiar with not-for-profit tax and compliance issues.
