You're invited to help future generations with a leaf on the "Friends of the Foundation" tree!
HCL Foundation invites you to become a “Friend of the Foundation” with a current gift or bequest of $5,000 or more, which will go towards future ministries of HCL. We will then designate a leaf on the tree, with your name or family’s name, for your God-honoring heritage, as witness. This can be done in many ways: naming the HCL Foundation as a bequest beneficiary, through insurance, stock donations, or the new HCL Foundation Gift Annuity. To learn more, please see us at the Featured Ministry Counter, or contact Dale Wiza, at 414-529-6700, or

A gift to The Foundation may be established through a variety of gift options. The possible forms and timing of gifts also provides flexibility in meeting a variety of tax and estate planning objectives. Gifts of all sizes and in many forms are welcome.
| CASH - A cash gift is the simplest and easiest way of realizing your charitable objectives and share in the work of The Foundation. Cash gifts qualify as a charitable deduction for federal incometax purposes. |
SECURITIES - Gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds and stock in closely held companies) may also be used to create a fund at the Foundation or add to an existing fund. You may completely avoid capital gains tax and deduct the full current fair market value of the gift of securities, equaling up to 30% of your adjusted gross income in the year of the gift.
|
|
BEQUESTS - Through a will, a donor may perpetuate good works through a living memorial. The Foundation may be named a residuary beneficiary of an estate, as the recipient of a specified gift or contingent beguest, or as the ultimate beneficiary of a charitable reminder trust. Bequests are deductible for federal estate tax purposes.
|
LIFE INSURANCE - There are several ways that you can give through life insurance. You can give a policy that you already own, assign the dividends as a gift, or name The Foundation as a beneficiary. In addition to estate tax benefits, you may also gain an income tax deduction. |
| REAL ESTATE - A gift of property held for more than one year can provide the same federal tax advantages as a gift of securities. You may also choose to retain the right to live in a donated residence after your gift has been made. |
GIFTS WITH A LIFETIME INCOME INTEREST - Deferred gifts include gifts in which the donor makes an irrevocable transfer of assests to The Foundation and receives, in return a lifetime income interest for specified beneficiaries: the donor, a spouse, children or friend. Thereafter, The Foundation receives the assests representing the gift. |
| GIFTS WITH AN INCOME INTEREST TO THE FOUNDATION - Through a charitable lead trust, you can provide an income to The Foundation for a period of years, at the end of which the principal reverts to you or passes to other members of your family. Often there is a significant estate tax benefit. |
Please consider joining us on the "Foundation Tree", with your "Leaf", this can be done with any gift to the Foundation of $5000.00 or more, which can also be the form of a bequest. We appreciate those who wish to remain anonymous, and the Foundation would still like to honor that gift with a leaf. The Tree is located on the north wall, of the west side of the atrium.
