Planned Giving: Leave a Lasting Legacy
By including Care For the Homeless in your estate planning, you can make a profound impact on the lives of those in need, ensuring that our mission continues for years to come. Planned gifts offer a powerful way to create a lasting legacy while receiving potential tax benefits today.
Ways to Make a Planned Gift:
Bequests: Include CFH in your will or trust to leave a gift of any size and help fund our critical programs for future generations.
Beneficiary Designations: Name CFH as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, retirement account or other assets.
Charitable Remainder Trusts: Establish a charitable trust that provides income to you or your loved ones, with the remainder going to CFH to support our work.
Real Estate: Donating real estate can provide significant tax benefits, including a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the property. You may also avoid capital gains taxes that would otherwise apply if you sold the property.
Stock Gifts: Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains taxes and support our mission with a powerful gift.
IRA Charitable Giving: If youโre 70ยฝ or older, a gift directly from your IRA can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) and may reduce your taxable income.
