BEQUESTS
Bequests are a popular way to leave a legacy in your community. They are simple gifts that enable you to provide significant support for The Salvation Army without reducing your current income or assets. After providing for your loved ones, you may choose to give either a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or a specific asset to The Salvation Army. You may also choose to make a gift in honor of your family or in the name of another loved one, or to contribute to The Salvation Army Hometown Endowment Fund for your community.
Benefits to you:
Charitable bequests are deductible for estate tax purposes, often providing significant relief from federal estate taxes. Bequests also allow you to retain the use of your assets during your lifetime.
