Make IFCS a Part of Your Will or Estate

Did you know that 72% of all Americans support the work of charities each year, but only 5.7% remember nonprofit organizations in their will or estate plans? Most people say they were never asked, or didn’t think about it.

Everyone can make an impact, regardless of income, and each gift furthers IFCS’ mission to serve our neighbors for generations to come. Will you help us look to the next fifty years and prepare for continued success in alleviating hunger for the communities of Colorado?

The Power of Planned Giving

As someone who appreciates the year-round services and life sustaining programs IFCS provides, you have the power to strengthen and protect them – today, tomorrow and beyond. Even a modest sized gift can make an enormous difference.

All the material things you’ve worked hard for — personal property and assets like retirement funds and insurance policies — these are the tools of charitable gift planning. They allow you to express your beliefs and values. Planned gifts can also provide you with valuable tax benefits and even an additional source of income for life.

It’s easy to designate IFCS as a recipient of your planned gift. Read below for a few examples of planned giving that can make an impact, regardless of your income. Each gift furthers IFCS’ mission to serve our neighbors and alleviate hunger for generations to come.
