In making a planned gift to Good in the ‘Hood, you are not only establishing your own legacy in the hearts of others, but you are also helping Good in the ‘Hood to address some of the most pressing issues in our communities. From addressing homelessness to hunger, your partnership with Good in the ‘Hood through your planned giving will ensure that countless lives are touched with profound hope.

Building Hope In The Lives Of Others Through Planned Giving

How can you partner with Good in the ‘Hood in your Planned Giving?

  • Designate Good in the ‘Hood as the beneficiary of your assets by will, or a beneficiary designation form. A charitable bequest is one of the easier, flexible and most tax efficient ways that you can leave a gift to Good in the ‘Hood that will make a lasting impact.

  • You may be looking for a way to make a lasting difference to help further the mission and vision of Good in the ‘Hood. If you are 70 ½ or older, an IRA charitable rollover is a way you can support our work, avoid unnecessary income tax and benefit you and us this year and every year.

  • Designate Good in the ‘Hood as a beneficiary of your retirement account, investment account, bank account or a life insurance policy. This is an easy and flexible way to make a difference in our mission.

  • With this charitable trust strategy, you can fund the trust with a variety of appreciated assets: cash, marketable securities, real estate, business interests, and personal assets. The trust sells your property tax free; you receive a charitable tax deduction to reduce your personal income tax and the trust provides you and/or your family with income for life or for a set term of years.

  • A charitable trust that is like a Charitable Remainder Unitrust, but offers a significantly higher immediate income tax deduction, a more flexible income stream to the grantors, and an opportunity to leave a significant charitable gift at the end of the term of the trust. The trust is funded with cash or marketable securities.

  • With this strategy, you fund a charitable trust that makes a gift to the trust and the trust makes an annual (or more frequent) stream of income to your favorite charities for a term of years. At the end of the term, the trust principle returns to you or your designated beneficiaries.

  • This strategy is perfect for the grantor(s) who don’t need their home to be retained in their estate. It offers an immediate income tax deduction for a deferred gift of the value of your home or residential property.

  • Create a lasting impact through planned giving, helping Good in the ’Hood serve our community for years to come. You can also extend your generosity today by checking with your employer about matching gifts—many companies will match your donation, doubling your impact.
