Gift Planning Options that Fulfill Your Needs

Endowments
Endowed gifts ensure lasting support for vital Focus: HOPE programs.  Because the principle in never spent, the interest generated from the endowment provides a steady stream of income for the designated fund.  Contact us to find out how you can give a gift that keeps on giving.

Bequests by Will or Revocable Living Trust
A bequest is a gift by will or living trust. Bequests can be for a specific amount, or for a percentage of the estate or trust, or for a portion of the residue of the estate.

Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a contract in which a donor makes a gift to Focus: HOPE in exchange for fixed income payments for the duration of their life and the life of a loved one. The amount of the annual payment is based on the age of the recipient when the gift is made (the older the recipient, the larger the payments).

Trusts
Trusts can be established by the donor to provide income to the donor and his/her spouse or family and then whatever is in the trust upon maturity is distributed to Focus: HOPE.

Beneficiary Designation of Life Insurance or Retirement Plan
Donors may wish to designate Focus: HOPE as a complete or partial beneficiary of a life insurance contract or a retirement plan account. These funds may be designated to any type of endowment fund the donor finds preferable.
