Appreciated Securities

Some of the greatest tax benefits will be available to you if you give securities worth more than you paid for them. You could help Florida Men of Integrity reach men for Jesus Christ through the donation of appreciated securities to FMI.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is simple to give to Florida Men of Integrity. You may choose from a variety of options to fit your personal desires and financial situation. Your wishes would be specified in your policy. The proceeds will be paid promptly and are not diminished by probate costs. The gift of life insurance benefits will not be delayed by settlement of your estate. You may also receive valuable income tax benefits.

Memorial Gifts

A memorial gift is a meaningful way to honor a loved one and leave a lasting legacy in his or her name. You may give any type of gift in memory of another person. Trusts, Wills, Annuities, and other charitable giving plans can also be used to remember a loved one. A wonderful way to honor a loved one who had a heart to see men grow in Christ.

Real Estate

Real estate provides a way to provide a major gift to support the ministry without having to directly provide money to do so. Real estate is a wonderful way to fund the ministry and leave a lasting legacy in you name for the ministry to men.

Deferred Giving

Deferred gifts are gifts that you establish now for a future date. Often, the actual gift is made after your lifetime or a term of years. In some cases, you can receive income and tax benefits during your life. For more information regarding the most common methods of making a deferred gift, select from the following choices

Gift Annuities

A Gift Annuity supports you and it benefits the ministry. It is a practical plan that provides living expenses for you from a regular return on your gift to Florida Men of Integrity. For many people, a Gift Annuity also provides some tax benefits. With your gift, you entrust us with furthering the mission we share between us.

Payable on Death Accounts

While a Payable on Death (POD) Account does not replace a trust in all respects, it does offer many attractive features for supporting the ministry. Whether your Estate is small or large; you may discover that a POD Account is just what you want. With a POD Account, you can give to the work of Florida Men of Integrity and still have resources available to meet your emergency needs.

Retirement Accounts

Retirement accounts provide you with the living expenses you desire when your income declines at retirement. Many people discover that they have accumulated more funds than they will use. This may happen because of reduced expenses, greater than anticipated income, or other reasons. As a result, excess assets have accumulated and are available for distribution at death. These assets, even at death, are subject to income tax unless distributed to charitable organizations, such as Florida Men of Integrity. Giving is a personal and spiritual decision. We hope this information is helpful to you as you prayerfully consider supporting the mission of FMI.

Revocable Living Trusts

A Revocable Living Trust provides for the distribution of your resources at the time of death. It will also allow you to prepare for the handling of your financial needs while you are still living and able to do so yourself. Assets in a Revocable Living Trust do not go through probate. As a result, time and money are often saved.

Unitrusts

Unitrusts provides future benefits to charitable organizations while you or your beneficiaries may retain a lifetime income interest. This is an irrevocable way to make a charitable gift to a cause in which you believe, while keeping your family’s financial goals in mind. It is also an excellent way to convert appreciated assets and receive income without capital gains tax, all while supporting our mission and receiving a tax deduction at the same time.

Wills

Your will is a continuation of your life and influence. It provides a way for you to leave a legacy which reflects those things which are close to your heart. It is important that you provide for those who mean the most to you. Your will expresses your wishes for the distribution of your possessions after you are gone. It ensures that your assets are distributed according as you desire to loved ones and to Christian causes. Would you prayerfully consider Florida Men of Integrity? You could leave a lasting legacy in your name and reach men for Jesus Christ.
