Leave a Legacy of Hope
What is Planned Giving?
Planned Giving (also called Legacy Giving) allows you to make a lasting impact on families experiencing homelessness—without affecting your current financial situation. It enables individuals like you to leave a meaningful gift through wills, trusts, retirement accounts, life insurance, or other assets.
By planning a future gift, you can support Family Housing Network’s mission while also maximizing financial and tax benefits for yourself and your loved ones.
Why Consider a Legacy Gift?
✔ Preserve Your Values – Continue supporting families in need beyond your lifetime.
✔ Flexible & Simple – Most planned gifts cost nothing today and can be changed at any time.
✔ Tax Benefits – Many legacy gifts provide financial advantages for you and your heirs.
The Three Types of Planned Gifts
1️⃣ Gifts During Your Lifetime – Donations of appreciated assets like stocks, property, or life insurance.
2️⃣ Gifts That Provide You Income – Charitable gift annuities or trusts that offer fixed payments for life.
3️⃣ Gifts After Your Lifetime – Bequests in your will or beneficiary designations in retirement accounts.
These gifts secure your legacy while transforming lives for years to come.
Ways to Give a Legacy Gift
✅ Bequests in a Will or Living Trust – Designate Family Housing Network as a beneficiary in your will.
✅ Retirement Plans & IRAs – Name Family Housing Network as a beneficiary of your 401(k) or IRA.
✅ Life Insurance – Leave a portion of your policy to Family Housing Network.
✅ Real Estate & Stock Gifts – Provide lasting impact while receiving tax benefits.
✅ Charitable Gift Annuities & Trusts – Support our mission while securing income for yourself or loved ones.
