Planned Giving

Planned Giving

Making a planned gift to CALVARY Rescue Mission is a special way to receive a double blessing. It allows a donor to take an action now which will provide substantial financial support for CALVARY Rescue Mission's future ministry to the homeless and hurting of our community ... and which, in many cases, can simultaneously provide lifetime benefits for themselves or their loved ones.

There are a wide variety of planned giving opportunities which donors may utilize to meet their charitable giving and estate planning needs. Charitable planned gifts can be an important part of any financial or estate plan, and should be made in consultation with a qualified financial planner or estate planning attorney.

Here is a partial list of the types of planned gifts that are available.

• Gift Annuities
Donors may invest in a CALVARY Rescue Mission gift annuity which, depending on their ages, will pay them an annual return of a fixed percentage of the gift, guaranteed for life, and much of the income is tax-free!
   Contact us for additional information.

• Beneficiary of Will
Designating CALVARY Rescue Mission as a beneficiary in your will is the simplest form of a planned gift. It is also a very effective way to provide for future support of CALVARY Rescue Mission. Should you decide to make this type of gift, the correct beneficiary name is CALVARY Rescue Mission.
   Contact us for additional information.

• Endowment
An endowment fund provides for a principal amount, which remains intact while the interest or dividends support the work of CALVARY Rescue Mission "forever".
   Contact us for additional information.

• Life Insurance Gifts
Naming CALVARY Rescue Mission as beneficiary of a life insurance policy, or buying a policy for CALVARY Rescue Mission, is a way to become a major donor at a minimum cost. The premiums are tax-deductible.
   Contact us for additional information.

• Stock Gifts
The gift of appreciated stock is an excellent opportunity to convert an asset into a charitable gift. No capital gains taxes are incurred on the transfer of appreciated stocks, and the gift may be used not only as an outright gift, but also for a gift annuity, participation in the pooled income fund, an endowment or virtually any other form of planned gift.
   Contact us for additional information.

• Payable On Death (POD) Accounts
The gift that you give and still keep is made possible by designating CALVARY Rescue Mission to receive the balance of your savings, brokerage or other account at the time of death. You retain the right to use all of the funds in the account throughout your lifetime. This designation is fully revocable during your lifetime and is a "no-risk" gift for those who are concerned about unforeseen expenses, but would still like to make a gift.
   Contact us for additional information.

• Charitable Trusts
Donors can place assets into a trust account, which will generate income for them or any beneficiary they designate. These accounts can produce fixed or variable income and may be revocable or permanent depending on donors' wishes. Upon the death of the trust maker and subsequent beneficiary, the money will then benefit the work of CALVARY Rescue Mission.
   Contact us for additional information.

• Retirement Account Gifts
If you are planning to give to CALVARY Rescue Mission through your will or estate, one of the best assets to give is one that is least valuable to your heirs. Naming CALVARY Rescue Mission as the beneficiary of your pension or individual retirement account (IRA) money can eliminate income and estate taxes on that gift.
   Contact us for additional information.

Toiletries - Welcome Pack

Gifts of Toiletries for a Welcome Pack

How easy it is to take a bar of soap or a toothbrush for granted. But many of the people who come to CALVARY Rescue Mission don't have these and other essentials for daily living.

That's why we provide toiletries--in addition to a clean bed and nutritious meal. It goes a long way toward showing how much we care. After all, we know it's the little things that make any of us feel welcome and at home. Think how much more that can mean to someone who is homeless.

We always have a need for personal care items to give to those we serve. That is why we ask your help in assembling what we call Welcome Packs.

Each Welcome Pack is a sealable clear bag containing the following items:

• Soap
• Toothbrush and holder
• Toothpaste
• Men's deodorant
• Shampoo
• Men's shaver and shaving cream
• Hand lotion

You or your family, co-workers, church or club can make one or more Welcome Packs or your group can collect certain items on this list and we will assemble the packs.

For that personal touch, print Welcome Pack labels, Enter your name or the name of your group on one of the labels and place it in the Welcome Pack. The man who receives the Welcome Pack will know who cared.

Welcome Packs can be brought down to the CALVARY Rescue Mission located at 960 South 3rd Stret any Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Thank you for helping us say welcome!
