Planned Giving

Create a Legacy and Change Lives

There are people being born today who are going to need New Hope Community in 18, 30, and even 50 years from now.

Planned Gifts help donors who want to do more to empower the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities without affecting their cash flow, retirement plans, or family obligations.

The New Hope Legacy Circle
Imagine a future where every person with intellectual and developmental disabilities can flourish in a community that supports their unique dreams and aspirations. By joining the New Hope Legacy Circle (linked to the honoree page), you become a vital part of making that future a reality, ensuring that New Hope Community and all its programs continue to empower lives for generations to come.

A Lasting Impact
When you include New Hope Community in your legacy planning, whether through a bequest in your will or trust, an IRA charitable rollover, or another planned giving vehicle, you create a powerful legacy that reflects your values. Your generosity will help sustain vital programs, expand innovative services, and offer new opportunities for people with IDD long into the future.

Your Planned Giving Options at a Glance

  • Bequests (Link to Bequests): Name NHC Foundation, Inc. in your will or trust for a specific amount, percentage, or the remainder of your estate. Sample language available here (link to bequests page).
  • Beneficiary Designations: Did you know that many people choose to leave a gift to NHC Foundation by Beneficiary Designation to support New Hope Community? A gift through a beneficiary designation in your retirement or other financial account may be the most advantageous gift you will ever make.
  • IRA Charitable Rollover (Link to IRA charitable rollover): If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA. You can reduce your taxable income.
  • Charitable Trusts (Link to CRUT): Convert appreciated assets into income for yourself or loved ones while ultimately benefiting New Hope Community.
