Charitable Fund & Legacy Giving - Kokomo Rescue Mission

What will your legacy be?

Every action we take is a vote for what we will become. Leaving a legacy is a goal of every human being. There are so many ways that you can leave a legacy. We leave a legacy to the next generation through our accomplishments, beliefs, actions and guidance that we give. Giving a financial legacy gift provides an example for the next generation, is a final act of worship to your Lord, and provides years of support for “the least of these” when you give to the Kokomo Rescue Mission. To read more about the impact you can make with your donation read some of our Success Stories.

We have been investing in the the community since 1953. We have been there for our neighbors and will be here for them in the future, with your help. We hope this information will be inspirational and motivational and offer insight to how you can leave a legacy. Please keep in mind that your personal circumstances need to be considered before taking action.

Leave a Legacy today with a God-honoring will, for more information visit our Christian Will Site.

Donor Directed Funds (DAF)

Donor Advised Funds (DAF) are an easy and tax-efficient way to manage charitable giving. These funds allow donors to receive an immediate tax deduction for their charitable contribution, and then recommend grants from the fund on the donor’s own timeframe. This gift comes from money you have already set aside for charitable purposes, so there is no reduction in funds available to meet your current needs and goals. DAF Resource Page

People love DAFs because they’re:

Simple. To bless a charity like Kokomo Rescue Mission, you simply contribute to your DAF then distribute gifts when you’re ready to give.
Flexible. DAFs allow you to bless multiple organizations from one account. Plus, you can easily contribute a wide range of assets to fund a DAF.
Generational. While funds deposited into a DAF are irrevocable, the actual account can be easily transferred to your children. This ensures your loved ones carry on your legacy of generosity.

The book of Matthew says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” This generally means your heart goes wherever you place your money – but DAFs embody this verse in a unique way. Donor Advised Funds allow you to put your treasure right where your heart already is!
