New Year's Resolution - Leave a Legacy
|
|
Consider a Legacy Gift to LUM This Year
|
What better goal for this
NEW
year than to create your own
personal legacy
by continuing your support of the mission of Lafayette Urban Ministry.
|
Giving to Lafayette Urban Ministry is a win-win Estate Planning strategy for you (the donor) and LUM. In addition to the altruistic benefits, your charitable gift to Lafayette Urban Ministry brings tax relief — and also allows you to make a larger gift to LUM than you could make from your income alone. Whether you use
appreciated securities/stock, real estate, artwork, partnership interests, personal property, life insurance,
a
retirement plan
or
cash
, the benefits of Estate Planned Gifts can make this type of donation attractive to you as a well as LUM.
We hope you would consider a legacy gift that would support Lafayette Urban Ministry
in your plans. Meet with your professional advisor to learn how informed estate planning can increase the overall value of your estate with a gift of tax-burdened assets (like IRAs, 401(k), or savings bonds) to Lafayette Urban Ministry. Once you're ready, let us know.
Joe Micon
, LUM executive director, is eager to meet with you to help you leave a legacy and fulfill your giving goals of supporting LUM. Simply email or call Joe Micon to begin the process
