What kind of legacy do you want to leave here on earth?

Leave a legacy of health and hope by including AMOS in your will or estate plans.

Your legacy gift will further essential community health care work for vulnerable people, help build God’s kingdom of abundance here on earth, and give us the means to innovate and plan for the future.

What will my legacy gift help AMOS do?

Your legacy gift will help AMOS build a sustainable future of health and hope for vulnerable communities in Nicaragua. When you include AMOS in your will or estate plans, your gift is directed to our Quasi-Endowment Fund, generating long-term income to sustain and grow our mission.

Your legacy will:

• Ensure continuity of life-saving programs including maternal and child health, clean water, and others.
• Empower local leaders and community health workers to serve in remote, underserved areas.
• Provide financial stability so we can adapt and respond to urgent health needs with faith and confidence.
• Extend your values: your compassion, generosity, and faith, beyond your lifetime.

Your gift will lay a lasting foundation of care, dignity, and hope for generations to come.

Ways to Give

We recommend you consult with your lawyer, tax advisor, or financial advisor to help you decide what type of gift might be best for you and your loved ones. However, here are some suggestions:

Give by Bequest

Leave a gift to AMOS in your will or trust by specifying a percentage, fixed dollar amount, or a residual amount of what may be left over after all other distributions are made according to your wishes. Generally, all it takes is a couple of sentences, and there is no cost to you now!

Here is sample language to include in your will or trust:
“I hereby give, devise and bequeath to AMOS Health and Hope, or its successors in interest, with offices at 3088 Haberlein Rd, Gibsonia, PA 15044-8232, federal tax ID #27-0837989, the sum of $X (amount written out), exclusive of my lifetime donations, if any, to be used for AMOS Health and Hope’s most urgent priorities as determined by its board of trustees in their sole discretion.”

Give Using Your IRA

You can also name AMOS as the beneficiary (or secondary beneficiary, after your spouse) of all or a percentage of the remainder of your IRA, and it will be transferred tax-free upon your passing. Retirement plans are often subject both to deferred income tax and estate tax, making this an ideal asset to leave to charity rather than your heirs. And, it’s easy to set up! Contact your IRA account manager to obtain a change-of-beneficiary form.

Give a Life Insurance Policy

If you own a life insurance policy you no longer need, consider naming an organization like AMOS as beneficiary, and the death benefit of the policy will go to AMOS. If you name AMOS as both beneficiary and owner, you’ll receive a charitable tax deduction for approximately the current cash value of the policy, as well as for any additional gifts you make to AMOS used to pay additional premiums. To put this in motion, contact your insurance company to obtain a change-of-owner/beneficiary form. 

Considering a legacy gift to AMOS? We’d be honored to assist you in this process.
