Benefits For Family and The Salvation Army

In a rural Missouri town, Mary learned she could continue her annual gift to The Salvation Army forever. Realizing that her family members didn't need the inheritance or the potential tax burden that came with it, and after seeking advice from and receiving approval from her trust officer, she agreed to designate her local Corps Hometown Endowment as beneficiary of her IRA. The income from the gift, when the time comes, will be used for ongoing operations of the Army's mission in her hometown.

She likes that plan.

There are several types of plans. Just click on the picture and you may view more stories.

The Retirement Unitrust

The city now has grown until the farm is now within the city limits. Several developers would like to build homes on the farmland. More on The Retirement Unitrust >>.
