"There can be only one clear objective of a civilization: to grow better human beings, to stimulate and evoke their gifts, strengthen the fulfillments of the individual in his sense of self and his relationship to mankind."
Jim Rouse

There are several ways to become part of Legacy Giving at Enterprise.  Your gift ensures the future for affordable housing! For more information on planned giving opportunities, call Anna Lincoln Whitehurst at 410.772.2785. Please consult with your financial advisor on the best giving option for you.

Bequests
The simple, revocable bequest is the easiest way to lock in your commitment to affordable housing. This approach allows you to provide for your heirs, while designating a portion of your estate to help support Enterprise's mission. There are financial incentives for taking this route, designed to help you make an impact on the future of disadvantaged families.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable Remainder Trusts provide tax benefits, in addition to providing lifetime income for you.  Most of all, you can have the personal satisfaction of making a major gift towards a cause you hold dear.

Gifts of Life Insurance
Gifts of Life Insurance are predicated on the assumption that the protection provided by the insurance coverage is not needed by you or your family – giving you a chance to share the wealth! You can name Enterprise Community Partners as the primary beneficiary of a life insurance policy, or you can realize immediate tax benefits by making an irrevocable assignment of an insurance policy to Enterprise.  Either way, these dollars will help Enterprise provide for families into an uncertain future!

A Gift From Your IRA
You can make gifts from your IRA or Keogh Plan either during your lifetime or beyond.  These gifts reduce your taxable estate at the same time they fulfill your desire to make a major impact on the upcoming crisis in affordable housing!
