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.


Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.

Gene and Carol White purchased stock in a small medical service company several years ago. The company has done well. A larger company is now discussing the possibility of buying the smaller company. Gene and Carol are looking for a way to save taxes. More on Sale and Unitrust >>.


Part Gift and Part Sale
Sue and Jim Wilson bought their first home many years ago. As they were landscaping in the yard, painting and fixing up that home, Jim was impressed with the home improvement store. More on Part Gift and Part Sale >>.
