Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers match employee’ charitable
contributions. You can double or triple your investment in TreeHouse by
participating in your company’s gift matching program.
Endowment Fund
The fund was initiated in 1994 with the objective
to provide growth and income that would generate annual income to
fund current outreach and future opportunities.
By giving to the TreeHouse Endowment Fund, you are investing
in the future and assuring that hurting youth will continue
to find hope at TreeHouse.
TreeHouse has had a rich 20-year history and looks
forward to many more years of serving hurting youth and their families not only in the
Metropolitan Area, but also around the globe.
Planned Gifts
There are many financial vehicles available to assist individuals with making thoughtful, planned gifts to TreeHouse that often have significant tax advantages. The following provides an overview of these options:
- Include TreeHouse in your will
- Make TreeHouse the beneficiary of a life insurance
policy or IRA.
- Provide yourself with a steady stream of income
for life by establishing a charitable annuity. A substantial portion
of the annuity qualifies for a current tax deduction. The payments
you receive are based on a fixed rate and will not fluctuate. Ultimately,
TreeHouse is the beneficiary of the assets placed in the annuity. This
is a nice way to guarantee your future and the future of TreeHouse.
- Gifts of appreciated property, such as real
estate (farms, farmland, residential and commercial properties,
vacation homes, and undeveloped land). Often, real estate increases
in value. This type of donation can provide you with positive tax
benefits.
- Set up a trust with TreeHouse included
as a recipient.
Gifts of Stock
A gift of appreciated stock is another way for a donor to support TreeHouse and also receive tax benefits. Donating appreciated stock to TreeHouse allows one to claim a charitable donation for the full, fair market value of the gifted stock. TreeHouse has brokerage accounts set up in order to make the transferring of stock easy and convenient. The Development staff is pleased to work with donors and their financial advisors to discuss gifts of stock and to assist with stock transfers.
Grants
TreeHouse annually seeks grants from a variety of corporations, private foundations, and civic organizations. We welcome insight and suggestions from our partners and friends who may know of potential funding sources that could support the mission and vision of TreeHouse.
