There are as many ways to support Senior Helpline Services as there are needs for your support. Senior Helpline Services describes these options in two ways: Planned Giving and Outright Gifts.

Planned Giving

Planned giving is an option that provides for both Senior Helpline Services and you.

The following types of planned giving instruments are available:

• Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts pay a fixed annual
  percentage of at least 5 percent of the trust. A minimum gift of
  $50,000 is required.
• Charitable Remainder Unitrusts pay an annual percentage
  of at least 5 percent and are revalued annually. A minimum
  gift of $100,000 is required.
• Bequests are a gift of property or assets to Senior Helpline
  Services as defined in a will or living trust.

Outright Gifts

A common form of charitable contribution is the outright gift of cash or other assets made to Senior Helpline Services during the donor's lifetime. There are two types of outright gifts:

• Gifts of Cash: The most popular type of donation is a gift of cash.
  It is simple to do.
• Gifts of Appreciated Property: An alternative to a cash gift is a
  gift of property or long-term securities with appreciation or
  capital gains.

All gifts are a statement of support for the mission and work done by Senior Helpline Services for the vulnerable, older adult population served.
