Bequests

A gift to Every Home for Christ in your will or revocable trust proclaims your confidence that we will continue to pursue our mission and make a difference for future generations. A bequest is easy to arrange, does not affect your assets or cash flow during your lifetime, and is revocable.

You may have planned your estate through a revocable trust instead of a will. A transfer to Every Home for Christ from your trust will bring you the same tax and planning benefits as a bequest from a will.

A bequest can deliver a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate after taxes and specific bequests have been paid. Your bequest or trust distribution to us will reduce the taxable value of your estate for federal estate tax purposes, and is exempt from state inheritance taxes.

You Can Make Your Bequest in Several Ways:

A bequest can deliver a specific dollar amount or asset to Every Home for Christ, or give us a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate after taxes and specific bequests have been paid. It can also be payable if an individual beneficiary is not able to inherit.

Specific Bequest

"I bequeath Twenty Thousand ($20,000) Dollars [or: all my General Motors stock] to World Literature Crusade Inc., a California non-profit corporation doing business as Every Home for Christ, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

.Residuary Bequest

"I bequeath Ten Percent (10%) of the residue of my estate to World Literature Crusade Inc., a California non-profit corporation doing business as Every Home for Christ, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.”

Contingent Bequest

"If my nephew does not survive me or is unable to inherit this bequest, I direct that it be paid to World Literature Crusade Inc., a California non-profit corporation doing business as Every Home for Christ, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.”

Your Bequest Can Be Used by Us in Two Ways:

A bequest can be directed to a specific program or purpose at Every Home for Christ, or you can tell us to apply it to our general resources or use it for the need that is most pressing at the time it is received. So that it can be most useful, we prefer that the terms of a bequest be as general as posible, and ask you to consult us if you are considering a bequest for a specific purpose here.
