Remembering Houston Coalition for Life in your will or bequest is meaningful way to create a pro-life legacy in perpetuity. Your gift will allow Houston Coalition for Life to continue our mission for years to come. Your gift also entitles your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction.
If you are like most people, you might not use all of your retirement assets (such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or other tax-deferred plan) during your lifetime. When the remainder of these assets are given to a charity like Houston Coalition for Life, they are not taxed, which makes them a wonderful way to help moms choose life for their unborn children. Retirement assets are a good choice to fund beneficiary designations.
In addition, choosing a charity such as Houston Coalition for Life as a beneficiary of a Life Insurance policy is a very meaningful way to make a gift and create a pro-life legacy that will ensure our mission continues for years to come.
If you are 70.5 or older, an IRA charitable rollover is another way you can use your retirement assets to benefit Houston Coalition for Life. The process is simple: You contact your IRA administrator to make a gift up to $100,000 from your IRA each year. Gifts from your IRA are not reportable as taxable income, so you won’t pay taxes on it.
Gifts of real estate are also ways to help out your charity of choice. A gift of real estate can include a home, investment property, vacant lot or perhaps a farm.
