In-Memorial, Honorary Donation Or Legacy Gifts

Making a legacy gift in your will or trust is one of the easiest ways to partner in our mission. There are a variety of ways to make a planned gift to Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity, both during the donor’s lifetime and/or through a will or living trust.

Legacy Gifts

When you make a gift to Habitat for Humanity from your retirement plan, insurance plan, or other assets, you make it possible for people to obtain safe, affordable places to call home. Best of all, these gifts are easy to make! Simply contact the firm that holds your assets and complete a beneficiary form.

Residual bequest: a percentage of the remainder of your estate after other specific legacies have been fulfilled.
Specific bequest: a specific dollar amount, stated fraction of your estate, or specified gift-in-kind such as collections, art, books, jewelry, etc.
Contingent bequest: a gift that is originally intended for other beneficiaries but, in the event of their prior passing, is redirected as a charitable donation.
If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, you can use it to fund a legacy gift while enjoying tax savings during your lifetime.

IRA charitable rollover: Many donors feel that directly transferring funds from IRAs is a great way to help families and create a legacy. For specific insurance or IRA contributions, please contact your individual firm directly.

Gifts of property: You can donate appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property. This is an effective way to fund a legacy gift that will assist families with building sustainable, decent homes. You can make this generous gift while still using the property throughout your lifetime, and you may even receive a tax deduction for your gift. To donate property, contact the Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity Office by emailing Chris at chardgrove@gc-habitat.org or call 856-256-9400.
