One of the simplest and easiest ways of supporting us and our mission is through a bequest in a will or by designating LSHV as a beneficiary of an IRA, Roth, 401(k), 403(b) or other qualified pension plan or life insurance policy.

The full amount of a bequest or testamentary gift is deductible from a taxable estate. Bequests, testamentary gifts, or qualified pension plans should be specified in the terms of your will, trust, or beneficiary designation form, and we recommend you always consult an attorney.

Already have a will? You can include or update a bequest to LSHV through a simple codicil, without the need for executing a new will. A codicil makes amendments to add new bequests to those already included in your will but must meet all requirements of your state. Generally, it must be signed by you in the presence of witnesses who must attest to the execution of the document. Make sure you identify our organization by our formal name: Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and the EIN for the organization is 13—6265606.

We sincerely hope that you will include LSHV in your estate plan, and we urge you to let us know if you plan to make a bequest to support our work and activities. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how your bequest can play a meaningful role in our future and perpetuate your life values. Please contact Jazmine Leon, Chief Development Officer, jleon@lshv.org or by phone at 914-949-1305 x 270.

We will send an acknowledgement letter to the person or family you wish to honor, letting them know you have made a contribution. The amount of your gift is not mentioned unless you wish it to be.

• A memorial donation is a great way to commemorate a loved one who has passed away. When making this type of gift, either online or by mail, please specify the name of the person being memorialized, the amount of the gift and the name and address of the person who should be notified of the gift other than yourself.
• A tribute gift or gift in honor of someone is a special way to recognize a person, significant accomplishment or commemorate a special occasion like a birthday, graduation, or holiday. When making this type of gift, either online or by mail, please specify the name of the recipient, the amount of the gift, and the name and address of the honoree so that we can notify them that a gift has been made in their honor.
• You will get an acknowledgment letter with the tax-deductible information for your contribution in both cases.

Matching gifts allow you to increase the amount of your donation with your employer’s help.
