Gifts of goods or services are always appreciated at Holy Spirit and can provide much enjoyment for our residents.

One way to make a significant impact is through a bequest in a will. A bequest can be:

A specific amount.
A percentage of your estate.
The remainder of your estate after other specifications have been fulfilled.

Bequests to charitable organizations such as Holy Spirit are deductible from your estate, meaning tax savings are possible. If you have a bequest for Holy Spirit, please let us know as we would like to recognize you.

You may support Holy Spirit through a life insurance policy by naming the organization as a beneficiary of the whole policy, a percentage of the face value, a specific dollar amount or as a contingency beneficiary. In addition, you may also transfer ownership of the policy to Holy Spirit and receive a charitable deduction for part of the cash value of the policy.

A charitable gift annuity provides income for life to the donor and the donor’s spouse, depending on whether the gift is for one life or for two lives. Gifts made in exchange for a gift annuity are eligible for a charitable income tax deduction for a portion of the amount contributed in the year the gift annuity is created. In addition, only a portion of the annual income the donor receives is taxable income.
