Remembrance Gifts

A gift in honor of or in memory of a family member or cherished friend is a living tribute to someone dear to you.  All remembrance gifts are placed in the Bello Machre Trust Funds.  We use the interest from the fund to provide assistance to the hundreds of those we serve both now and for generations to come.  Show your love for others as you share with those who need your help. 

  • Perpetual Tribute – memorial or honor gifts of $5,000 or more are sufficient to establish an ongoing remembrance of a loved one or cherished friend.
  • Perpetual Legacy – memorial or honor gift of $10,000 or more is sufficient to establish a legacy that pays special tribute to a loved one and is recognized with a permanent dedication at Bello Machre.

Gift of Property

Gift of real estate, stock, or bonds will generates a charitable income tax deduction for you and makes a significant impact for Bello Machre. We also welcome donations of property including a used car, boat, cemetery lot, or even airline miles.

Bequest

Naming Bello Machre as a beneficiary in your will, life insurance policy, or retirement plans, helps provide for the future of these who depend of us.  After considering your heirs, you may designate an amount or percentage of your estate and realize considerable estate tax savings.

Charitable Annuity Trust

The life income agreement combines a charitable gift with an investment.  Funded by cash or appreciated properties, it establishes a fund that will pay you a fixed dollar amount or fixed percentage of the fund’s assets, valued annually, for the rest of your life. 

Best of all, when you set up the fund, you realize a tax deduction for the value of the estate and gift tax deductions – and you avoid capital gains tax.

Special Gift to our Endowment Fund

By making a tax-deductible gift to our Endowment Fund – you will know that your investment will benefit the folks at Bello Machre for generations to come. The Fund allows your gift to grow over time, as we only use the income it generates.
