LEGACY GIVING

Thank you for your interest in supporting our mission of ending abortion peacefully and prayerfully!

Your gift will help us continue our life-saving work by allowing us to offer free services through our five Blue Blossom Pregnancy Centers which include our main office and four mobile units: Big Blue, Baby Blue, Little One, and Little Two. Our main office also houses our Maternal Assistance Program and our Curriculum of Life Program which are free classes that help our new and expectant moms.

Legacy Giving

As long as crisis pregnancies occur, Houston Coalition for Life’s mission will always be the same. Legacy giving or planned/deferred giving can make a lasting impact to ensure our free services continue providing life-affirming options to women in crisis pregnancies, saving them and their preborn babies from abortion. Anyone can make a planned gift to create a lasting pro-life legacy benefiting generations to come. There are several types of legacy gifts you might consider:

• Wills and Bequests

Remembering Houston Coalition for Life in your will or bequest is a meaningful way to create a pro-life legacy in perpetuity. Your gift will allow the Houston Coalition for Life to continue our mission for years to come. Your gift also entitles your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction.

• Beneficiary Designations

If you are like most people, you might not use all of your retirement assets (such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or other tax-deferred plan) during your lifetime. When the remainder of these assets are given to a charity like Houston Coalition for Life, they are not taxed, which makes them a wonderful way to help moms choose life for their unborn children. Retirement assets are a good choice to fund beneficiary designations.

In addition, choosing a charity such as Houston Coalition for Life as a beneficiary of a Life Insurance policy is a very meaningful way to make a gift and create a pro-life legacy that will ensure our mission continues for years to come.

• Gift from Retirement Accounts

If you are 70.5 or older, an IRA charitable rollover is another way you can use your retirement assets to benefit Houston Coalition for Life. The process is simple: You contact your IRA administrator to make a gift up to $100,000 from your IRA each year. Gifts from your IRA are not reportable as taxable income, so you won’t pay taxes on it.

• Real Estate

Gifts of real estate are also ways to help out your charity of choice. A gift of real estate can include a home, investment property, vacant lot, or perhaps a farm.
