Planned Giving at Pita’s Place Foundation

One meaningful way to support Pita’s Place Foundation and ensure our mission continues for years to come is through planned giving. A bequest is a gift made to charity in your will or trust, allowing you to leave a lasting impact while still maintaining full use of your assets during your lifetime. Your generosity will help provide essential resources for women in recovery, ensuring they receive the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Types of Bequests

1. Specific Bequest

A specific bequest involves leaving a designated asset or a specific dollar amount to Pita’s Place Foundation. Examples include:

  • Leaving a home, vehicle, or other property to benefit women in recovery.

  • Donating a specific dollar amount (e.g., $50,000) to fund therapy services, housing, and life skills programs.

  • Assigning a percentage of your estate to Pita’s Place Foundation (e.g., 10% of your total assets).

2. Residual Bequest

A residual bequest is made from the remainder of your estate after all specific gifts and obligations have been fulfilled. You may choose to leave a portion or all of the remaining assets to Pita’s Place Foundation. For example:

  • Designating 50% of the residual estate to support women in their transition to independence.

  • Leaving the remainder of your estate to continue our mission of providing faith-based recovery support.

Bequest Benefits

  • Flexibility – You can modify your bequest at any time if your circumstances change.

  • Tax Advantages – Bequests are exempt from federal estate taxes, potentially reducing the tax burden on your heirs.

  • Legacy of Giving – Your planned gift ensures that Pita’s Place Foundation continues to provide critical services for women in recovery for generations to come.
