Planned Giving
Your generous support ensures that our faith-based pregnancy resource center can continue to offer hope, healing, and guidance to those in need for generations to come. By including us in your estate planning, you are making a lasting impact on the lives unborn babies and their parents in the name of Jesus. Below are several ways you can include our ministry in your planned giving.
Bequests
A bequest is a simple and powerful way to support our mission. By including a gift to Hope Pregnancy Center, Inc. in your will or trust, you ensure that our work continues beyond your lifetime. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a portion of what remains after other bequests to loved ones have been fulfilled.
Sample Bequest Language:
"I hereby give, devise, and bequeath [specific amount or percentage] to Hope Pregnancy Center, Inc. a non-profit organization located at 3106 W WS Young, Suite C-301, Killeen, TX 76542, for its general use and purposes."
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity allows you to make a gift to our organization while receiving fixed annual payments for life. This option provides you with the satisfaction of supporting our mission while also securing a steady income stream for yourself or a loved one.
Trusts
Charitable Remainder Trusts: This trust allows you to receive income for a specified period or for life. After the trust term ends, the remainder is transferred to our pregnancy resource center.
Charitable Lead Trusts: This trust provides income to our organization for a set number of years, after which the remaining assets are transferred to your heirs.
Beneficiary Designations
You can designate our pregnancy resource center as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial accounts. This is an easy and flexible way to support our mission without modifying your will.
Gifts of Real Estate
Donating real estate, whether it's a personal residence, vacation home, or commercial property, can provide significant support to our center while offering potential tax benefits for you. You can choose to give an outright gift, a retained life estate, or transfer the property to a charitable trust.
Gifts of Stocks and Securities
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a tax-efficient way to support our ministry. By transferring securities directly to us, you may avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction.
Endowed Gifts
Establishing an endowed gift ensures your support will last forever. Your gift is invested, and a portion of the earnings is used to fund our programs annually, creating a perpetual source of support.
How to Proceed
We are here to help you create a lasting legacy that reflects your faith and commitment to our mission.
We recommend consulting with your financial advisor or attorney to determine the best planned giving option for your situation. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Community Engagement Director Heather Ortner at 254-501-4181 or by email at heather@hopepc.com.
