Highland Lakes Foundation
As a friend of Highland Lakes, we want you to know that we have joined with the Texas Missions Foundation to provide individuals and families extensive estate-planning services free of charge. The Missions Foundation works with people who want to use their resources to change the world and would like to offer complimentary charitable planning to your family, including:
- Estate Planning: Learning how to provide for your family, save on estate taxes and enjoy the satisfaction of making a difference at Highland Lakes.
- Non-Cash Gifts: We can help you donate stock, mutual funds, real estate and other property.
- Charitable Gift Annuities: Did you know you could make a meaningful gift to Highland Lakes while enjoying lifetime guaranteed income (some of it tax free) and receive an income tax deduction?
- Charitable Remainder Trusts: These trusts give you flexible income and flexible timing as you make a gift to benefit Highland Lakes and other ministries. You can transfer assets to a trust that will pay fixed or variable income to one or more individuals for life, or a period of time. Gifts of appreciated assets can be sold tax-free avoiding capital gains tax and preserving the entire amount to produce income for you.
All inquiries are confidential and you are under no obligation to either organization by receiving these services.
For more information about utilizing biblically sound charitable planning, please email rod@highlandslakes.com or call 888-222-3482.
