Leave a Legacy

Andrew Carnegie, well-known for his philanthropy, once said, "The man who dies rich dies disgraced." It must have been straight from his heart, for unlike any businessman of his time, he made his fortune and then began systematically giving it away.

By taking an active role in planning your financial affairs, you can leave a legacy while actually increasing your current after-tax income by leaving assets to City Gospel Mission rather than the IRS. This is a clear win-win situation.

Here are some examples of Planned Giving that can help you and provide your own legacy for the work being done in the lives of the homeless at City Gospel Mission:

• Leave a gift to City Gospel Mission in your Will
• Name City Gospel Mission as your life insurance beneficiary
• Donate appreciated assets such as stocks or mutual funds
• Set up a Charitable Gift Annuity
• Donate real estate or personal property
