PLANNED GIVING MORE INFO To sign up for our planned giving GiftLegacy eNewsletterCLICK HERE WAYS TO HELP OUR MISSION GROW There are a variety of tax-effective ways to give gifts, and donors can choose how their charitable gifts will be used. Each method of giving benefits from the most favorable tax treatment the law allows for contributions. Cash is the easiest way to contribute and may qualify for maximum allowable income tax deductions Marketable or Closely-held Securities. If securities are highly appreciated, they may be given so the donor can deduct the full fair market value as a charitable contribution and thus avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. Real Estate may also be given at appraised value, so the donor can receive a full charitable deduction and avoid capital gains taxes. Life Insurance can be used to create a major gift at a relatively low cost to the donor. If Mississippi Methodist Senior Services, Inc. (MMSS) is named owner or beneficiary of a new or existing policy, the donor receives a tax deduction. Additional premiums paid through MMSS are tax deductible, and proceeds pass to charity, free of estate tax. Include MMSS in Your Will. A bequest of cash, securities or real property can significantly reduce the taxes otherwise payable by your estate. Your heirs benefit, and the gift continues your good work in your name permanently, a living symbol of your care and concern for others. Retain Income from a Charitable Gift. There are many ways to make a charitable gift and still receive income for life or a specified time. Through these methods, donors may be able to increase annual income for themselves and/or their spouse, while reducing taxes oncurrent income, estates and gifts. Gift Annuities. MMSS offers competitive rates to supporters who give current gifts but retain a lifetime income. A portion of these gifts may be tax-deductible, and income is guaranteed.

Deferred gifts may be created so that you or someone you love can receive a lifetime income.

These trusts provide current income tax deductions and/or estate tax deductions. Pass Assets to Children or Grandchildren. Charitable Lead Trusts provide income to MMSS or one of its programs for whatever charitable purposes the donor has specified. After a set number of years, the remaining principal of the Trust, any accumulated appreciation, can then be distributed to children, grandchildren or other named beneficiary, often with very significant estate tax savings.

SUNDAY FUND DONATE NOW Sunday Fund Video Top Twenty Announcement Sunday Fund Brochure SUNDAY FUND "Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life."” ~Proverbs 16:31 Our commitment to ministry in the name of Christ echoes our rich faith heritage. For 58 years we have been passionate about helping those in need. We pray that you will partner with us in hearing God's call to serve older adults in the Spirit of Christian love. WHAT IS THE SUNDAY FUND? A benevolence fund created to meet the financial burdens of elders who live on one of our twelve campuses across Mississippi. These are elders who have outlived their resources and can no longer afford the cost of housing or care. No matter how much someone plans and saves, sometimes those plans are dramatically altered by unexpected events which produce overwhelming financial and emotional obstacles. WHO BENEFITS? Elders living at an MSS facility who have outlived their financial resources and can no longer afford the cost of housing or care. Your gift to The Fund helps preserve the dignity of elders who must ask for help. IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE SUNDAY FUND 100% of the money donated to The Sunday Fund is used to support elders.Every year there is an increase in both the number and size of Sunday Fund requests. Your help is crucial to our ability to keep pace with the growing needs of those we serve. Without Sunday Fund grants, there are men and women who could no longer maintain their residency on one of our campuses, a place they have come to call home.
