We are also appreciative of donations given by our corporate and individual
donors. The benefits of giving to Lifehouse are twofold – our
clients continue to receive the quality care and training we provide
and you receive tax advantages. Charitable
giving opportunities include
Thrift Town. We would appreciate your used clothing, appliances
and furniture. All sales to Thrift Town benefit Lifehouse. Call
1-800-675-4499 for a free pick up.
Contributions. Lifehouse is grateful for monetary
contributions, large or small. We will send acknowledgement cards
for donations you make in honor of or in memory of an individual.
Securities. When you donate stocks, bonds and other
securities to Lifehouse, you will not only avoid the capital gains
tax, you will also enjoy a tax deduction for the stock's full market
value.
Property. We can arrange for your continued use
or occupation of a home, commercial building or land that you contribute.
We also accept donated automobiles.
Deferred Gifts. Planned gifts, such as trusts and
bequests, offer tax advantages and can provide you with income throughout
your lifetime.
Matching Gifts. Double your contribution by asking
your company if it has a matching gift program.
Gifts made through wills and living trusts. If
you have a will or a living trust, you have an opportunity to help
ensure Lifehouse's long-term future. You may prefer to avoid capital
gains tax by giving a gift of appreciated stock directly to Lifehouse.
To make a gift of real estate, there are a variety of ways to transfer
property to Lifehouse, such as a charitable unitrust or a donation
of the remainder interest. As you review your financial affairs
on your own or with a professional advisor, keep in mind these ways
that you can help Lifehouse.
Endowment Program. Your gift to our Endowment Fund
ensures Lifehouse's long-term growth and stability, as we use only
the interest.
United Way. Designate a United Way gift to Lifehouse.
A Gift of Insurance. Consider the gift of an old
insurance policy no longer needed for family income protection.
Lifehouse will be the beneficiary and the cost will be only the
annual premiums left on the policy. Better yet, a new policy can
be a way to make a large gift on the installment plan.
