Leaving A Legacy
Bequest
Including MICAH House in your will or trust is a meaningful way to help us continue to serve homeless children, families, and women. Many of our programs and services have benefited from individuals who had the foresight to include the MICAH House in their estate plans.
life insurance
Life insurance is often overlooked as an asset that you can use to make gifts to MICAH House. There are a number of ways to support the MICAH House’s many programs with an insurance-related gift.
Retirement ASSETS
Retirement assets grow tax-free until the time of withdrawal. With the innovative use of these assets, you are able to contribute generously to MICAH House, as well as, provide for your loved ones. Many taxes on these plans can be avoided or reduced through a carefully planned charitable gift.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is a life-income arrangement that provides you and/or other beneficiaries with a stream of income for life or for a period of years. After the trust terminates, the principal, or “remainder interest,” goes to MICAH House. Unlike other life-income arrangements, CRTs are separately invested and managed trusts. Please note that MICAH House does not manage these trusts for donors.
