More Ways to Donate
Memorials and Honorary Gifts
There's no better way to memorialize or honor someone you love than to make a gift in
his or her name to Union Mission. You can give your gift online by clicking here. (link
to your donation page) Or, you can send your gift to P.O. Box 968, Roanoke Rapids,
NC 27870. Please include a note stating whom you are memorializing or honoring and
whom we should notify about the gift. We'll notify the family of the deceased or the
person being honored, without disclosing the amount of the gift.
Bequest Through Will
You can make a bequest to Union Mission of a dollar amount, specific property, a
percentage of your estate or the remainder of your estate after taking care of your loved
ones.
Gifts of Life Insurance
Making Union Mission a beneficiary to part or all of your life insurance policy is a simple
way to make a significant gift. You may receive a tax deduction for the cash surrender
value, reducing your tax liability in the year of the gift.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock, Bonds or Mutual Funds
Appreciated stock, held more than one year, makes an excellent charitable gift. You can
avoid capital gains taxes and receive a tax deduction for the value of the gift up to 30
percent of your contribution base. Bonds and mutual funds are similar to appreciated
stock in the tax treatment. We also welcome state, municipal and U. S. government
bonds.
Gifts of Property
Gifts of property can be simple to make, but due to special tax considerations, please
contact our planned giving staff before giving property valued at $500 or more. Making a
gift of your home has definite estate-tax advantages, and the donor can often continue to
live on the property the rest of his or her life.
Charitable Remainder Trust
Donors can select the rate of return from these income arrangements and also choose a
fixed or fluctuating annual payment. Capital gains taxes can be avoided and you receive
a tax deduction based on the age of the income recipient and the rate of return.
Charitable Lead Trust
Assets, like cash or securities, are transferred to a trust that pays income from the fund
to Union Mission for the number of years you determine. At the time period's end, the
trust terminates and the assets are given back to the person(s) you name. The income
tax deduction is for payments made annually to the Mission.
