Giving Opportunities

Designated Memorial Gifts

We welcome the opportunity to be the recipient of memorial gifts including those designated in the obituary column of a newspaper. If you would like to designate us as a recipient of memorial gifts, contact Tammy Stott at or .

On a weekly basis, we mail to the primary contact person the names and mailing addresses of all the people who made memorial gift donations in memory of their loved one. Upon request, we will send to the primary contact person the total number of gifts and the total dollar amount of donations made at any given period of time. We never disclose the donation amount made by an individual.

Planned Gifts

Planned gifts represent a special type of support that benefits you, the donor, and our agency. A planned gift allows you to maximize your contribution and provides you specific income and estate tax advantages. Planned gifts may also offer you income during your life time.

Securities

A gift of stock to be donated electronically may be made by contacting your broker and giving a written request with delivery instructions. For more information on how to facilitate this transfer, please contact Vicki Kelley at or .

Life Insurance

We may be named as the principal beneficiary of your insurance policy or ownership of the policy may be transferred to our agency.

Company Matching Gift

Many companies have a matching gift policy that may double a contribution to the agency made by an employee. Your company’s human resources department may provide the necessary information and matching gift form.
