Give by Will
For more information, please call our Resource Development Department at 303.285.5227.
You can make the ultimate gift by including the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless in your will. A gift by will or bequest may be tax deductible. For example:
• A Residual Bequest grants the residue, or portion of the residue, of your estate to the Coalition after explicit bequests have been made.
• A Specific Bequest grants a stated dollar amount or itemized securities.
• A Contingent Bequest grants a stated amount if one or more of your bequests cannot be fulfilled.
• A Life Income Bequest gives income to someone close to you with the principal reverting to the Coalition after his or her lifetime.
Another planned gift option is to designate the Coalition as a beneficiary of a revocable living trust.
• A Revocable Living Trust resembles a will but provides instructions for managing your personal assets during your life and distributing those assets after your death. It will allow you to designate a trustee to manage your assets in the event you become disabled or incapacitated.
• As the trustee of your own living trust, you grant yourself broad powers to manage your assets during your lifetime. Nothing changes about the way you run your household, your business, or any of your financial affairs. You determine what's in the trust, and you can easily amend it.
We recommend that you consult your attorney when creating or revising your will to include the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless - this information will be helpful:
• The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
• Our tax identification number is 84-0951575.
The name and address to include in your will is:
Colorado Coalition for the Homeless
2111 Champa Street
Denver, CO 80205
