Dedicated to Ending Hunger - For Good

Your passion for helping the very poor attain economic self-sufficiency and ending their own hunger – for good – will be permanently memorialized by including Freedom from Hunger in your estate plan. It’s very simple to continue your support for women and their families in developing countries by making a bequest in your Will or Living Trust, or by naming Freedom from Hunger as the beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, bank account, or mutual fund.

If you’re interested in minimizing the out-of-pocket cost of your gift, and maximizing tax savings, there are a variety of choices for you to consider that help you while you help others.

Gift Planning can provide solutions to real life problems,
such as:

  • Would you like to sell real estate or stock that has grown in value, but are discouraged by the amount of capital gains tax you would have to pay? - Donate appreciated stock or all or a portion of the real estate, instead of using cash for your gift. The income tax deduction is for the current value of the stock or real estate, and you pay no capital gains tax on the difference between what you paid for the asset and what it is worth today.
  • Are you looking for a way to plan your legacy without having to pay your attorney to change your will? There is a very simple cost-free way to make your legacy an end to chronic hunger – name Freedom from Hunger a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance policy.
  • Are you “sick and tired” of managing your rental property or ready to get off the “stock market roller coaster”? You can receive the income earned on the amount of your gift for the rest of your life – Join Freedom from Hunger’s Pooled Income Fund, or find out if a remainder unitrust or remainder annuity trust makes sense for you. Whichever one you chose, the amount left over supports microfinance programs for the world’s poorest women.
  • Are you concerned about the amount of inheritance taxes that your family will have to pay? You can be a philanthropic role model for your children and grandchildren and provide an appropriate inheritance for your heirs – we can show you how a charitable lead trust provides microfinance and health protection services to the world’s poorest women today, while saving inheritance taxes and providing appropriate distributions to your heirs in the future.

What type of charitable gift makes the most sense for you?

We will work with you to figure out the gift plan that meets your needs and helps the world’s poorest women attain economic self-sufficiency. Many of our supporters find the Goals & Benefits chart very helpful. However, the easiest way to get the information you need to understand your choices is to contact us.
