Many people find that leaving a contribution behind so that agencies, such as Allied Churches, can continue to serve the hungry and homeless is a choice with a lot of benefits. There are several options:
- Bequest in your will a dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or certain property.
- Receive a tax deduction for the value of your gift by making Allied Churches a beneficiary of part or all of a life insurance policy.
- Save on estate and income taxes by making Allied Churches a beneficiary of a retirement account.
- Give a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds to avoid capital gains taxes and receive tax deductions.
- Set up a charitable remainder trust, select the rate of return and choose a fixed or fluctuating payment in order to possibly avoid capital gains taxes and to reduce estate taxes.
- Set up a charitable lead trust that will pay income to Allied Churches for a specific time in order to earn income tax deductions. Once the time period is over, the trust ends and is given to the person you’ve designated to receive your assets.
For more information about how you can help Allied Churches call 336-229-0881 or contact your personal financial advisor about how you can give to Allied Churches and benefit from the tax savings.

Lorena expected her life to be different.
But when her husband was sent to prison and she was left to raise her two toddlers on her own, she found herself homeless and in a dire situation.
Lorena and her 3-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son, who has sickle cell anemia, are one of several families staying in the women’s and children’s dorm at Allied Churches of Alamance County.

Florence Riddle Holmes planned ahead.
Because of her thoughtful planning two nonprofit agencies — Allied Churches and Hospice of Alamance-Caswell — along with the church she loved, Davis Street United Methodist, benefited from her consideration and generosity.
