Thank you!

Thank you to all who helped make the 2013 Flying Pig Marathon a tremendous success for City Gospel Mission's Step Forward team! Every Step Forward runner and walker finished his or her race and the team raised thousands of dollars to help City Gospel Mission. View the 2013 Step Forward journey video.

Legacy Giving

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

For more information, please contact Paul Spence at (513) 345-1048 or pspence@citygospelmission.org.

What's the Baby's Name?

Some parents choose interesting and unusual names for their children - such as Bill Board, Adam Bom, Kris Mass, Al Bino, and Justin Case. "Charity" is not the most popular name for natural-born children of Christian families, but it is an increasingly common name for the child that Christian families add to their Will. Here’s how it works: with a child called "Charity," families add another child to their plan. So if they have three children, they add a fourth child named "Charity" – with each child receiving 25% of the estate and a
"Charity" (such as City Gospel Mission) also receives 25% of the estate. To get started, you can go to a local attorney or go online and include City Gospel Mission as one of your children (or "beneficiaries") in your Will. Visit our online Christian Wills Guide for easy-to-understand, money-saving help with both options. Or to get some perspective on how to treat your children in your stewardship planning, you can request our new bulletin “Big Questions Every Parent Must Ask.”
