There are many ways you can support the Market Street Mission. Cash gifts are always welcome. However, there are other ways to help the Mission meet its ministry needs in the future. For example, you could put the Market Street Mission in your will or you can make a gift from your appreciated assets. This type of giving provides long-term support to the Mission as well as an immediate tax benefit to you.
Including Market Street Mission in your will? You can use the following language in your will to be sure your request is honored:
“I bequest [list the $ dollar amount or % percentage] of my estate to The Market Street Mission, 9 Market Street, Morristown, NJ 07960 (Tax ID # 22-6047486) for the general purpose of providing meals, shelter and hope to the hungry, homeless and hopeless in New Jersey.”
Designate Market Street Mission as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement account assets
As a qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit the Market Street Mission can be named as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement account assets. You can designate the Mission as a beneficiary for the entire amount or a portion. If benefits are to be shared be sure to indicate the percentage you wish to distribute among beneficiaries.
