The truth is, most all donors are being affected and millions of dollars are being lost every year to:

  1. unnecessary, excessive taxation (current and future)
  2. hidden, unknown and future tax issues
  3. loss of available new sources of income
  4. failure to identifying and avoiding certain risks

If found, this money can be redirected to bless their family, business, church, community and the Union Gospel Mission.

Stewardship is defined as the ability to make wise choices in the management of money for someone else.  This includes your personal, as well as business finances, as many precious lives literally “hang in the balance” based upon your personal decisions over the wealth you’ve been given to manage.  Knowledge is the key and the Wisdom from God enables you to make wise choices.

Many donors have learned how to Increase their income, Reduce their Taxes and stop their money from falling through the cracks, as they experience the joy of giving.

A simple three-step review process can transform your life and empower you to be a blessing for others that you truly want to be.

Planned Giving. A gift to the UGM by will or revocable trust is deductible in full from your taxable estate. Such a gift may be for a specified amount of cash, specific property such as a vacation home or land that you own, a percentage of your estate or the residue (the property left after the payment of all other bequests, debts, and taxes). The bequest may be unrestricted or it may be limited to funding a particular project or program.

Here is an example of language that may be used to remember the Union Gospel Mission in your estate plan: “I give (cash of $___) or (specific property) to the Union Gospel Mission” Language may be added designating a particular use for the funds, or designating the funds “in memory” of a loved one.

Another simple method of giving a future gift to the Union Gospel Mission is to name the Union Gospel Mission as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. All that is required is naming the Union Gospel Mission on the beneficiary designation form. When the policy matures, the Union Gospel Mission will receive the proceeds and your estate will receive a “dollar for dollar” charitable estate tax deduction. In addition, you might consider naming the Union Gospel Mission  as the owner as well as the beneficiary, which will allow you to obtain a current income tax deduction, as well.

Other Planned Giving options include:

  • IRAs and Other IRD Retirement Plans. Since 100% of an IRD plan can be gifted to the Union Gospel Mission without tax, it is a prime estate planning gift, leaving other estate assets (which are not taxed for income) to loved ones.
  • Charitable Remainder Unitrust. Creates donor income for life or term of years. Trust assets go to Union Gospel Mission at termination of income interest.
  • Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust. A trust from which a specified sum is paid to the donor. At termination of the income interest, assets pass to the Union Gospel Mission.
  • Life Estate. A donor deeds personal residential property to the Union Gospel Mission, receiving an immediate income tax deduction for the present value of the remainder interest of the residence.

More than 1,000 of the homeless population are children or youth under the age of 18.

Seven and a half was the average age of a homeless person in Dallas as of 1999.

“Give Until It Hurts
No Longer Applies”

Imagine yourself sitting in front of your trusted financial advisor and hearing the words “... you are losing money everyday.  In fact, thousands of dollars are falling through the cracks and lost.”

Very disturbing news, to say the least, especially in light of the fact that you perceive yourself as a good steward over your family, your work and your finances. More...

Based on the 2006 number of 9,200 homeless, Union Gospel Mission Dallas served approximately 4,800 individuals or 52% of the homeless population in Dallas.

In 2006, UGM Dallas served 182,000 meals, provided 72,000 nights shelter and gave 11,000 pounds of clothing to those in need.

34,680 hours of rehabilitation were offered at UGM Dallas in 2006.

8,224 hours of educational programming were offered in 2006 at UGM Dallas.

76 cents of each dollar donated to UGM Dallas is used in service to the homeless.

In a 2002 study by the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, 39% of the homeless population in Dallas had never before been homeless.

We offer these unfortunate people a new chance at life. We not only offer the truth through the gospel but a clean place to live, learn, and become self sufficient.
