Make a Lasting Difference for Neighbors in Need

Leave a Legacy of Hope

Planned Giving

A gift in your will or living trust, or through a beneficiary designation, can help Turlock Gospel Mission serve people in need beyond your lifetime.

Your generosity can carry forward the work you care about—providing meals, safe shelter, and support as people rebuild their lives. It’s a lasting expression of compassion that helps the mission continue serving our community through Christ’s love.

Two Ways to Make a Lasting Difference

Will or Living Trust

A Gift in Your Will or Trust

A gift in your will or living trust—also called a charitable bequest—allows you to support Turlock Gospel Mission beyond your lifetime.

You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a portion of what remains after other gifts and obligations have been fulfilled.

Your attorney can help you arrange a gift that reflects your wishes and your plans for loved ones.

Beneficiary Designation

Make the Mission a Beneficiary

You can also leave a gift by naming Turlock Gospel Mission as a beneficiary of an eligible retirement account or life insurance policy.

You may choose to give all or a portion of an eligible account or policy. This is generally arranged through your provider’s beneficiary form, rather than through your will.

Contact your account or insurance provider to learn about your options and any requirements.

A Legacy That Reflects What Matters to You

Your gift can support the mission’s work wherever the need is greatest, helping provide care and opportunities for people facing homelessness and hardship.

If a particular program is close to your heart, such as Nourish, we would welcome a conversation about your wishes. We can also discuss endowment options for those interested in supporting the mission over the long term.

Talking with us as you make your plans helps us understand your intentions and discuss how your gift can support the work you care about.

Three Steps to Get Started

  1. Consider Your Wishes

    Think about your loved ones, the causes you care about, and the difference you would like your gift to make.

  2. Arrange Your Gift

    Work with your attorney on a gift in your will or trust, or contact your account or insurance provider about a beneficiary designation.

  3. Let Us Know

    If you include Turlock Gospel Mission in your plans, we would love to thank you and learn about your wishes.
