LEAVE A LEGACY
La Casa‘s supporters are the strength that helps us continue our mission. We know they trust us, believe in our work, and truly know us. They see the impact of what we do, have walked alongside us, and feel deeply connected to the heart of God through it.
By making a Legacy Gift, you can extend holistic care to the children we serve and leave a lasting impact on future generations. It would be our privilege to walk with you in what God is placing on your heart. Below you find various ways you can give to La Casa de mi Padre.
By working with your financial advisor, you can determine whether any of these options are good for you. Each method offers different benefits for donors, especially in terms of tax efficiency and the timing of the gift. If you would like more information, you may contact us at: mail@mfhinternational.org.
Donor Advised Fund (DAFs)
A donor-advised fund is a charitable account that allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
For those 73 or older, IRS rules require them to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) each year from their IRA. Gifts made to La Casa through QMDs can be counted toward the donor’s RMD for the year, up to $105,000, allowing the donor to reduce their taxable income.
Here you will find a form you can use for this purpose.
Named as a Beneficiary in a Will or Life Insurance Policy
A donor can name La Casa as a beneficiary in their will or life insurance policy, providing a future gift that may reduce estate taxes and support La Casa’s long-term mission.
In-Kind Gifts
Property (Land, Homes, Automobiles, etc.): Donating real estate or other types of property allows donors to give significant assets without needing to sell them, potentially providing tax benefits while supporting La Casa.
Gifts of Stock
Stocks and Securities: Donors can gift appreciated stocks or securities directly to La Casa, which may allow donors to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a tax deduction based on the asset’s current value.
Below you will find the Instructions for Stock Donations and the Form to Use.
Cryptocurrency
Donors can contribute cryptocurrency directly to La Casa. This can provide similar tax advantages as donating stocks, as the donor may avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated asset.
