how can you help?

There are so many ways to give

Endowments:
Legacy Giving

You can start a legacy gift by creating an endowment that will continue to support the work of HHRC in perpetuity. You can leave a lasting legacy of spiritual impact by creating an endowment with a current gift or through your estate plan. In particular, you can give children & teens the gift of a future by helping provide a place where lifelong spiritual decisions are made.

Trusts & Gift Annuities:
Enhance Your Income

One benefit of a Charitable Remainder Trust or Charitable Gift Annuity is receiving income from the gift. Usually, the income received is substantially greater than the income being received before the gift. In the case of the Charitable Gift Annuity, the income is guaranteed for life and based on your age.

Estate Plans:
Bequest Gifts

One of the simplest ways to give is a bequest provision in your estate plan documents. Your bequests can be for a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate (a 10% tithe, for example) or the remainder of your estate after you have provided for others.

Property Gifts:
Bypass Capital Gains Taxes

The sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, or business interests that have appreciated in value generate hefty capital gains taxes. Your gift of these holdings would avoid these taxes, and you would receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value. Appreciated property gifts can be made directly or as a deferred gift, such as a Charitable Remainder Trust or Life Estate Agreement.

Donor-Advised Funds:
Giving Funds

The fastest growing from of charitable giving is the Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). With a DAF, you make the initial gift of property or cash and receive a tax deduction for the full value of your gift. Your gift is then held and invested until you recommend distribution at a future time.

Qualified Charitable Distributions:
from your IRA

QCDs let you give directly from your IRA without increasing taxable income. QCDs can support HHRC fund endowments, provide immediate gifts, or go to a Charitable Gift Annuity. For those 73 and up, QCDs can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution—an especially useful option if you no longer itemize.
