Leave a Legacy of Love
Include Christ’s Body Ministries in Your Will or Trust
Your life has been a testimony of faith and compassion. Now you can make sure that your legacy continues to reflect the values you hold dear.
By naming Christ’s Body Ministries in your will or trust, you can extend your impact beyond your lifetime — feeding the hungry, serving the poor, and sharing God’s love with the most vulnerable in our community.
Why Make a Legacy Gift?
Leaving a gift in your will or trust is one of the most meaningful ways to support the work of Christ’s Body Ministries. This type of giving, often called a bequest, offers several benefits:
Eternal Impact
Your gift provides lasting support to ministries that serve those who need it most — the homeless, the hungry, and the hurting.
Simplicity
Your contributions can grow through investments, allowing you to give more to the causes you’re passionate about.
Flexibility
You can change your will at any time if your circumstances change or if you simply decide that your wishes or priorities have shifted.
Potential Tax Benefits
Estate gifts may reduce taxes owed by your estate, leaving more for both loved ones and charitable causes.
What Can You Give?
- A specific dollar amount
- A percentage of your estate
- A specific asset, like property or securities
- The residue of your estate (what remains after other bequests)
Sample Language for Your Will or Trust
To make it easy, here’s a sample sentence you can share with your attorney or advisor:
“I give [_% of my estate / $__ / the residue of my estate] to Christ’s Body Ministries, a nonprofit organization located at 850 Lincoln St., Denver, CO 80203, EIN: [insert EIN], to be used for its general charitable purposes.”
