Planned giving is an option for all donors of all income levels and may allow you to make a larger gift than you otherwise could from your current assets. A planned gift may also let you receive an income stream for life, while reducing capital gains or estate taxes. By including Wind Youth Services in your financial planning, you can provide a legacy that will benefit the homeless and at-risk youth we serve.
Examples of estate and planned giving options include wills and living trusts, life insurance and retirement beneficiary designations, charitable annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts and life estate in personal residence and farm. These are all wonderful ways to support Wind Youth Services. We would be pleased to discuss these options with you but also recommend that you speak with your accountant or financial advisor to determine what is best for you.
We depend on the generous support of our community to live our mission to engage youth experiencing homelessness who need safety from the streets and access to resources to help them move from crisis to healthy functioning and independence. Please let us know if we can provide any assistance during your planning process. We will be glad to explore options that benefit you, your family, and our youth.
