Each year, Hope House provides emergency shelter and assistance for more than 10,000 victims of domestic violence through various services. But we cannot do it alone. We need the support and assistance from businesses and organizations within our community. Consider adopting Hope House as your charity of choice for your annual giving.
Throughout the year your company or organization can implement a variety of activities to support Hope House in different ways. For example, you can collect urgently needed items for those residing in shelter one month; invite a speaker from Hope House to educate staff on domestic violence issues another month; collect monetary donations the next month; organize a volunteer project for Hope House, etc. These activities are not only incredibly rewarding for your group, but can also be tremendous team building experiences.

Give the gift that will benefit generations: endowments are permanent legacies that provide significant donor recognition as well as support for our programs in perpetuity. The principal of your endowment gift is invested and the income from the investment is used to continue providing safety and support services for victims of domestic violence in our community.
Deferred gifts may allow you to provide a larger legacy than outright gifts made during your lifetime. Your planned gift will contribute to the future strength of the institution and enable Hope House to carry forward the work and ideals in which you believe.
Planned gifts may be in the form of bequests, life insurance, qualified retirement plans or real estate. We encourage you and your legal/financial advisors to work with our Development Office staff to plan deferred gifts.
For a gift that starts giving to Hope House in present, as well as the future, IRA Rollovers are still available through December 31, 2011 (and may be extended in to the future). This allows you to make a gift of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxes! To learn more about this exciting option, please click here to see the IRA Rollover brochure.
To discuss planned giving, please contact Nancy at 816-257-9328 or nduvall@hopehouse.net.
