Charitable designation icon

Make a charitable designation 

By naming HOPE or other charitable organizations as partial or complete beneficiaries to your IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or donor-advised fund, you can reduce your tax liability and free up other assets for the people and ministries you care about.

To include HOPE in this way, simply request and fill out a beneficiary designation form from the manager of your account(s).

If you have named HOPE International in your will, trust, or insurance/retirement policy, please let us know so we can ensure your gift is used according to your wishes. Please contact our team here. We will be grateful to welcome you to Legacy of HOPE—our community of supporters committed to funding the future of HOPE with their legacies!

Other ways to give 

Other strategic ways to give to HOPE include gifts of stock or real estate, opening a donor-advised fund (DAF), or considering a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).

  • Contact your IRA custodian and let them know you want to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to HOPE International. Ask if they require a written request or have a specific QCD form.
  • Provide HOPE's details:
  • Payee Name:
    HOPE International
    Mailing address: 227 Granite Run Drive, Suite 250, Lancaster, PA 17601

  • Tax ID# 23-2836648

  • Attn: Donor Care

  • Specify amount of contribution.

  • You can donate up to $111,000 per individual per year, if you're 70 ½ or older.

  • Ensure the distribution is made directly from your IRA to HOPE International—not to you personally.

  • Delivery: Have your custodian send the check directly to HOPE International

  • Receipt notification: Once your QCD gift arrives at HOPE, your will be notified by your HOPE rep!

  • Tax Reporting will be provided at the start of the new year. Your IRA custodian will issue a 1099-R for the full amount distributed from your IRA. QCD IRA distributions are reported on Line 4 of Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR.
