GUIDE TO GIVING
There are many reasons we are grateful for our community, and donors’ generosity is on the top of the list. As with most non-profits, donations make our very existence possible. We are delighted that, partnering with you, Lopez Islanders are empowered to live out their lives in the community they love. The financial support of donors renews that dream every year.
There are a variety of ways you can help. Whether yours is a one-time gift, an annual donation, a monthly donation, bequest, or contribution to our new endowment fund, your generosity makes a powerful difference. Your tax-deductible contribution will make it possible for us to continue providing beautiful, affordable housing for elders on Lopez Island. Thank you.

LEGACY GIVING/BEQUESTS:
Making a charitable bequest in your will is the easiest legacy gift to establish. The following language offers options for you and your attorney to consider:
“I hereby give, devise and bequeath to Lopez Housing Options (LOHO), a non-profit charitable organization located in San Juan County, WA, federal tax ID #76-0732680, (the sum of $_____) or (____ percent of my estate) or (specific items of property)
OR
(indicate a specific dollar amount) or (all of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) as an unrestricted gift to be used at the discretion of its Board of Directors who may determine how best to apply such gift towards the work of The Hamlet (or list a specific purpose).”
MORE LEGACY GIVING OPTIONS:
Naming Lopez Housing Options as a beneficiary of your Individual Retirement Account; other retirement account; life insurance policy; establishing a Remainder Interest; or setting up a Life Estate Gift will create a lasting contribution in your name. Please call us for specifics.
ENDOWMENT GIFTS:
