A
Lifetime Investment in Hope Community Resources
for Alaskans who Experience a Disabilitity
Bequests
are gifts that are included in your will. These gifts can take
on many forms. Bequests include gifts of cash, stocks, real estate,
collectibles, bonds, and/or any other item deemed by the donor.
Please consult with your advisor prior to making any type of bequest
in your will.
Bequests
help provide for future generations of Alaskans who experience
a disability and for the future of Hope Community Resources, Inc.
(Hope).
If
you are considering naming Hope as a beneficiary of a charitable
bequest in your will, you should familiarize yourself with the
types of bequests that are commonly used:
If
you have not written a will, or if your existing will has not
been reviewed in several years, a meeting with your advisor is
highly recommended. Your bequest will need to be constructed to
ensure your wishes are carried out properly.
All
donations, including bequests to Hope, have varying tax advantages
to the donor. Donors should consult with a lawyer or estate planner
to seek their maximum tax benefits.
For
more information, or if you have any questions, please contact Hope's
Deputy Director of Public Relations and Resource Development at 1-907-561-5335
or by email at kjez@hopealaska.org
- Specific Bequest: This type of bequest allows the donor
to designate a specific dollar amount or a specific piece of
property to Hope.
