Become a Monthly Sustainer
Our credit card donation processing system allows you to make a monthly Sustainer contribution with the click of a button, billing your card monthly in the amount of your choice. It takes seconds to sign up, and can be cancelled at any time. Monthly contributions make a lasting difference while spreading out your annual gift into conveniently budgeted payments. Our system will send you a monthly receipt, and we will send you an annual summary of your tax-deductible gifts to Garden Path Elder Living each January.
Better yet! You can set up a monthly automatic “bill pay” from your bank account, which sends a monthly check directly to Garden Path Elder Living using your bank’s online bill pay tools. This option eliminates the credit card fees that would otherwise be paid by GPEL.
By Bequest
Taking care of children and grandchildren is a priority for most of us. We also can take care of the organizations and causes we care about. There’s no better way to thank the people or organizations that have had an impact on your life or the lives of elders in our community than to make a contribution from your estate. Charitable giving is not only for the wealthy. Gifts of any size can make a difference!
Donors may designate Garden Path Elder Living as the recipient of a specific amount, percentage amount, or as a percentage of the residual of their estate. Donors may include a similar provision in revocable or irrevocable trusts, or establish a separate trust by will, designating Garden Path Elder Living as the recipient of the estate residual. A charitable deduction is available to the estate for funds left to Garden Path Elder Living.
The following language may be incorporated in the donor’s will, written as a codicil to an existing will, or included in the donor’s revocable or irrevocable trust:
“I give, devise, and bequeath _________________________(describe dollar amount, percentage, property to be given, or proportion or your residuary estate) to Garden Path Elder Living, a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of Vermont with current headquarters located at 65 Harris Avenue, Brattleboro, VT 05301 for its general charitable purposes.”
GPEL prefers that all bequests be made without restriction to Garden Path Elder Living. However, if restricting the gift is so desired, donors are encouraged to contact the Executive Director to ensure proper wording and designation. Donors are encouraged to notify Garden Path Elder Living when considering a bequest, in order to ensure that the assets left to Garden Path Elder Living meet the criteria set forth in this policy, and so that GPEL can thank, recognize and properly steward the gift.
