Planned Giving

Many of our partners support Habitat through planned gifts, which may qualify for significant tax deductions.

To find out how you can financially benefit Blue Water Habitat for Humanity and provide a lasting legacy, contact Barbara Ernsberger at (810) 985-9080 Ext. 201.

Stocks and Bond Gifts

A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously sharing with others. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation. In addition to helping Blue Water Habitat, you may diversify away from low-basis, long-term holdings into other assets that will better suit your current needs. If you would like to discuss a gift of stocks or bonds, please call Barbara Ernsberger at (810) 985-9080 Extension 201.
