Gift Annuities
Under a gift annuity agreement, you make a gift to Family Promise in return for the organization’s promise to make an annual payment to you of a specified dollar amount for as long as you live. The amount of the annual payment depends upon your age and is based on a fixed percentage of the initial fair market value of your gift. A portion of your gift may be tax-advantaged.
​
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A charitable remainder trust may be designed to provide you with income throughout your lifetime as well as support to Family Promise upon your death. The trust may be established with a gift of cash or appreciated stock. A trust can be structured in one of two ways – either as an annuity trust or unitrust. The important difference between the two options involves the way distributions are handled.
Charitable Lead Trusts
Charitable lead trusts provide income to your designated charity for a set period of time. At the end of the gift period, the property you placed in the trust either returns to you, or is passed on to named individuals.
Please for further information about planned giving to Family Promise.

"Me and my mom and brothers and sisters stayed at Family Promise after we were locked out of our apartment because we didn't have enough money.
​
My Dad lost is job and couldn't find another one. He had to move away to find work. We are ok, but we miss him a lot.
​
Soon we will have a new place to live and I will ride the school bus just like the other kids.
​
I love our friends Mr. Jay and Miss Brenda at Family Promise. They have done a lot for me."
