PLANNED GIVING

BEGIN YOUR LEGACY WITH US

City Mission is blessed to have dedicated supporters who have chosen to designate us as a benefactor in their planned giving. These generous gift commitments help to ensure that the work of City Mission will continue for generations to come. As an expression of our gratitude for this committed group of donors, we have established The 1906 Heritage Society. Members of this group share a common bond of compassion and a heart to provide for the future needs of the Mission.

No gift has a more lasting impact.

A planned gift offers you many potential advantages, including federal estate tax savings, the elimination or reduction of capital gains taxes, and the opportunity to increase spendable income.  Supporters who make a planned gift to City Mission automatically become part of The 1906 Heritage Society.

As a member, you will be invited to an exclusive annual appreciation event, have your name included on the Donor Recognition Wall in our Legacy Cafe, and have the opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for ensuring the work of the Mission can continue far into the future.

Please note, we will also honor your request should you prefer to have your gift remain anonymous and/or not publicly recognized. 

By remembering City Mission in your will, trust, or other planned gift, you can join this special group of people who share your passion to continue to impact lives and bring hope to men, women and children in need for years to come.
