LEAVE A LEGACY

How will you be remembered? What will you leave behind?

If you are thinking of leaving a lasting impact that will help end homelessness, you may want to consider a legacy gift to One80 Place. Leaving a gift in your will or by beneficiary designation are great ways to make a lasting difference in the lives of future families and individuals seeking to end their homelessness.

HOW YOU BENEFIT

  • You decide how much to give—no gift is too small.

  • Your gift costs you nothing now.

  • You retain control of your assets during your lifetime and, if your circumstances change, you can modify the gift.

  • You may choose to keep your gift anonymous.

  • You can leave a gift in honor or memory of someone who inspired your commitment to ending homelessness.

  • You will be remembered as someone who made a difference in your community today and for future generations.

CONSIDER THESE three WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MARK:

 

 

+ Gifts by beneficiary designation


One80 Place supporters like you ask often, “How can I do more?” Here's how! You can help support the fight to end homelessness by simply naming One80 Place as a beneficiary of any of these types of accounts:

  • Retirement Accounts
  • Life Insurance Policies
  • Bank or Brokerage Accounts
  • Certificates of Deposit
  • Donor Advised Funds

And it’s easy to do. Just follow these simple steps to complete your gift by beneficiary designation:

  1. CONTACT your retirement plan administrator, bank, broker or insurance company and request a beneficiary form. This form—not your will—determines how these assets are distributed.
  2. WRITE in “One80 Place” as beneficiary [or partial beneficiary] using our federal tax identification number: 57-0789483 and current business address: PO Box 20038, Charleston, SC 29413. If the form asks for a date of birth, use our date of incorporation: November 20, 1984.
  3. SIGN THE FORM AND RETURN it to your plan administrator. Keep a copy for your records.

+ Make the most of your IRA


If you are over age 70 ½, you can save on income tax when making donations to qualified charities, such as One80 Place, directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

+ Gifts in your will


You can take care of family first, and include One80 Place to receive a specific amount or percentage of your estate. Or, name us a contingent beneficiary, so homeless families and individuals are next to be taken care of after your family.

To include One80 Place in your will, contact your lawyer or adviser.

 

 

PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOUR GIFT!

If you decide that part of your legacy will be to end homelessness, we welcome the chance to say thank you. With a gift that costs you nothing now, you can forever be remembered as someone who believes that everyone deserves a home.
