Matching Gifts.
Many people who make charitable donations are unaware that their gift may be eligible for matching funds from their employer. Companies often match employee gifts to nonprofit organizations.  Please check with your human resources department. Your joyful effort may double the value of your gift to The Foundation for the Holy Spirit.

Cash, Stock, Trusts, and Bequests.

Many donors say they wish they could do more to help The Foundation for the Holy Spirit. We may be able to work with you and your advisors to create a gift that maximizes your intentions. Here are some of the ways to make a gift to The Foundation for the Holy Spirit.

Securities or stocks held more than one year that have gone up in value make extremely effective gifts.

A bequest is a provision in your will naming The Foundation for the Holy Spirit as a recipient of a part of your estate. It is flexible and easy. A bequest may be for a specific dollar amount, a percentage or fraction of your estate, or it may take the form of a trust.

Retirement Funds naming The Foundation for the Holy Spirit as a beneficiary of all or part of an IRA or qualified retirement plan could achieve both estate and income tax savings.

Life Income Agreements (charitable trusts, pooled income funds, etc.) Could be used to pay income for life to you or anyone you name, with future benefit to The Foundation for the Holy Spirit. You receive a deduction for the value of the Foundations interest.

Your donation is tax deductible.  The Foundation for the Holy Spirit has 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Contributions to the Foundation are deductible by contributors on their tax returns.
