Ensuring Our Promise of Care.
We make a lifelong commitment to each one of our residents. We see them as family and as such, we serve, care for, and share with one another—especially when someone outlives their personal resources. Your gifts play a vital role in making this possible and securing the future for everyone who calls Holland Home home. Beyond giving a cash gift, there are several other ways you can support Holland Home, the Holland Home Foundation, and/or Faith Hospice.
Smart and Strategic Giving
Planned giving provides effective ways to enhance your support for Holland Home, Holland Home Foundation, or Faith Hospice-often while benefiting your family as well. By exploring your options, you can make a meaningful, lasting impact through simple, flexible, and cost-efficient methods:
Create a Legacy of Compassionate Care
Your generosity can ensure continued care for seniors in our community. To learn more, contact the Holland Home Foundation at 616-235-5125 or email foundation@hollandhome.org
Giving Through Your Will Or Trust:
Including a planned gift in your Will or Trust is the most common and simplest way to support our mission.
“During our married life we have carefully managed our finances, including tithing. Once we moved to Breton Woods, we realized we also wanted control over our finances after death. We especially wanted to benefit the charities we support now. The Foundation staff connected us with Barnabas Foundation which, at no cost to us, will distribute funds to the charities of our choice. One of them is the Holland Home Resident Assistance Fund.”
— John & Janice B., Holland Home Residents
Help with Your Will
Suggested wording for your planned gift through your Will can be found here.
A Holland Home Foundation reference website to Wills can be found below.
Giving Through a Charitable Gift Annuity:
A simple arrangement that combines a charitable gift with an annuity. You make the gift (a portion is tax-deductible) and you receive fixed payments for the rest of your life.
“A Charitable Gift Annuity: it’s a triple blessing. A blessing to the giver. A blessing to receive those quarterly returns. A blessing to participate in the mission of Holland Home. I’m glad I made the choice for this triple blessing.”
— Bill V., Holland Home Resident
Giving Through Your Retirement Plan:
If you are 70 ½ or older, you may directly transfer funds from your retirement asset (IRA or another tax-deferred plan). This qualifies as a portion of the Required Minimum Distribution.
“We’ve donated a portion of our annual Required Minimum Distribution from our IRA for several years. This is a ‘win-win’ for both Holland Home and us. Holland Home receives an annual donation and our taxable income is decreased by that amount. It can’t get any better!”
— Jake & Ann S., Holland Home Residents
Giving Through A Gift Of Stock Or Mutual Funds:
A gift of appreciated stock is a wonderful way to give without writing a check and may provide you with tax benefits.
“We decided to include Holland Home as one of the charities in our estate plan because of what we see–how people are cared for and valued.”
— John & Judy S., Holland Home Residents
