Ways to Make a Lasting Gift
The Outreach Center of West Houston welcomes planned and legacy giving through Donor Advised Funds, real estate and retained life estates, retirement plan assets like IRAs and 401Ks, life insurance, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, and stock and business interests. (There is often a tax advantage for directly gifting certain securities such as stocks, particularly if they have significantly appreciated in value. OCWH can receive gifts of securities in its brokerage account.) For more information on planned giving, transferring shares, or more, please contact us through the button below.
*Outreach Center of West Houston does not provide legal or financial advice. Please work with a licensed professional alongside your planned giving journey.
