LEAVING A LEGACY

HAVE YOU REMEMBERED HFS IN YOUR WILL?

Bequests provide an opportunity to leave a legacy and make a difference
in the organizations and communities you love. 

Did you know that 85% of Americans die without a valid will and most don't know that a gift to charity will reduce the federal taxes they will be required to pay upon death? 

Please consider including Hastings Family Service in your estate plans or will
and help us continue to strengthen our community for many years to come!

    THE EASIEST WAY TO INCLUDE HASTINGS FAMILY SERVICE IN YOUR PLANS AT NO COST TO YOU...  
        simply fill out a Change in Beneficiary form for an IRA, pension or life insurance plan to add Hastings Family Service as one of your beneficiaries. 


INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED TO ADD HASTINGS FAMILY SERVICE TO YOUR WILL:

  • Full legal name:  Hastings Family Service    
  • Federal Tax ID # 23-7083534

Receive Income Now and Leave a Legacy Later  Using a Gift Annuity

Enter a charitable gift annuity contract with HFS as a beneficiary and you can receive steady income for life at rates currently higher  than a bank certificate of deposit. (Rates are based on the age of the annuitant.)

Your benefits:
  • supplemental income with regular payments to you that are partially tax-free
  • stable payments for life and the contract can be set up for one or two lives so the gift continues to provide income to a spouse or child before the remainder comes to Hastings Family Service
  • current and future savings on your income taxes
  • a legacy that helps Hastings Family Service help others far into the future!
