Support and Gifts
A gift to House of Friendship in honor of a family member, business associate, or friend is a very special way to celebrate a happy occasion or express sympathy for a loss. Your generosity at the time of a wedding, birthday or graduation will help us provide a future for the children of Honduras. Of course, your gift will be immediately acknowledged to the family or individual remembered.
How To Remember House of Friendship in Your Will
A bequest in your will is greatly appreciated and is one of the simplest forms of planned giving. There are several ways to make a bequest through your Will or Living Trust.
- BEQUEST BY PERCENTAGE is the donation of a fixed percentage of your estate. Since it does not specify the source of the funds, your Executor will honor the bequest from any available source in your estate.
- A SPECIFIC BEQUEST is a defined gift of cash, real estate, securities, etc.
- A RESIDUARY BEQUEST donates all, or a percentage of your remaining estate after all debts, expenses, and taxes have been paid, and all other bequests have been honored.
- A CONTINGENT BEQUEST takes effect only in the event that other bequests fail, e.g., if your beneficiary does not survive you.
A Unique Holiday Gift
Holidays are special times, long remembered for family traditions. Why not establish a new tradition with a yearly gift at your favorite holiday season? We will be happy to send you an annual reminder.
TAX BENEFITS
We are a 501 (c)(3) corporation (22-3331805).
