Include Hope Haven in Your Will
The easiest and most common way for most people to make a lasting impact, is by including Hope Haven in your will. By having your attorney revise your will or add a simple amendment, you can make a charitable bequest of a dollar amount, specific property, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after providing for other heirs.
Note: Hope Haven's legal name for tax purposes is the "Hope Haven of Hancock County". Our tax ID number is 64-0852491. Hope Haven recommends consulting an attorney when you make or modify a will.
Other Kinds of Planned Gifts:

• Life Insurance
  One of the simplest ways to make a significant gift in the future is to name Hope Haven as beneficiary to receive all or a portion of the proceeds of a policy which is no longer needed for family protection.
• Retirement Plans
  If you are planning to leave the funds remaining in your retirement plan after your lifetime to someone other than your spouse, much of the money may be lost to taxes. Naming a charity as the beneficiary of your retirement plan can help shield your retirement assets from heavy taxation. To name Hope Haven as a beneficiary of your 401(k), 403(b), IRA or other retirement plan, please advise your plan administrator to designate your gift to:

Hope Haven of Hancock County
Tax ID # 94-1254641
PO Box 3777
Bay St. Louis, MS 39521
If you are considering naming Hope Haven as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, please consult your tax advisor or attorney for full advice on the effect of your gift.
