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.
Real Estate
We can arrange for your continued use or occupation of a home, commercial building or land that you contribute.
Deferred Gifts
Planned gifts, such as trusts and bequests, offer tax advantages and can provide you with income throughout your lifetime.
Wills and Living Trusts
With a will or 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.
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.
