Leave a Legacy of Hope
Every day at Union Gospel Mission, we see how one act of compassion can change everything—especially for a child eating a warm meal or a neighbor finding safe shelter.
When you include UGM in your estate plans, you become part of The Legacy of Hope Circle, a special group of supporters who are committed to making sure that care, dignity, and stability are available long into the future. Your planned gift ensures that tomorrow’s families can still find refuge and hope when they need it most.
Ways to Leave a Legacy:
Wills & Trusts
Include UGM in your will or living trust to make a simple, lasting impact—no matter the size of your estate.
Retirement Accounts
Name Union Gospel Mission as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan. This can reduce taxes and maximize your giving.
Life Insurance
Designate UGM as a beneficiary or donate a policy you no longer need and potentially receive tax benefits.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Support UGM while receiving fixed income for life. Remaining funds will carry on your legacy of care.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Receive income for life or a set number of years; afterward, your gift will help sustain UGM’s mission.
Charitable Lead Trusts
Provide immediate support to UGM, then transfer the remainder to your heirs with possible tax advantages.
