Smarter Ways to Give:
There are many easy ways to make a planned gift. Dependent upon the gift and your personal situation, you may wish to involve family members, your financial advisor, or your attorney in the decision.
A gift in a will or living trust (bequest)- a simple designation that costs you nothing now, but sustains our programs beyond your lifetime.
To make a charitable bequest, ask your attorney to include the following in your will: “I (name) give, devise and bequeath to Hawthorn Hill, a not-for-profit corporation, existing under the laws of the State of Iowa, and located in Des Moines, Iowa, __________________(percent of my estate, dollars, property, securities, etc.) to be used for general purposes at Hawthorn Hill.”
Beneficiary designation in your life insurance or individual retirement account- naming Hawthorn Hill as beneficiary of these assets is as easy as a phone call to your retirement plan administrator or insurance company, and updating your beneficiary form.
Gifts that pay you income (Charitable gift annuities)- one way to have dependable income in your retirement years, this can provide you with regular payments while supporting our mission. A legal contract between the donor and Hawthorn Hill, through which the donor exchanges cash, stocks, or other assets for an agreed-upon income for life.
Beneftis include:
