A Gift in Your Will: A simple but meaningful way to give

You may not feel wealthy, but you’re comfortable and secure, and you would like to help organizations that help others. If this sounds like you, consider including a gift to SAMMinistries in your will, known as a bequest. In doing do, you help to ensure our mission will continue into the future.

Types of Bequests

1. A specific amount gives a stated sum (ex: $10,000) to the beneficiary you name.
2. Specific property gives a particular item (ex: car, home, stock holding) to the beneficiary you name.
3. A residual gift gives a percentage from 1 to 100 of what remains in your estate after other bequests, debts and taxes have been paid. This popular way of dividing your estate allows you to keep your gifts in proportion to your estate size.

A bequest to SAMMinistries qualifies for an estate tax charitable deduction and give you the satisfaction of helping the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in our community. Plus, when you make a gift in your will, you have the ability to revoke or update your intention at any time.
