THINK YOU NEED A FORTUNE TO BE A
PHILANTHROPIST? THINK AGAIN

THE ALIVE IN HOPE FOUNDATION (AIHF) OFFERS MANY WAYS TO HELP PEOPLE meet their philanthropic and financial goals – and you don’t need a fortune to invest to experience the joys and personal growth philanthropy brings.

You can establish your own fund or create a fund in memory or honor of a special individual with as little as $10,000. If you wish, you may further grow this fund by contributing at a subsequent time. Philanthropists also have the option of making a contribution to an existing fund at any time. AIHF funds are attractive alternatives to private foundations, and require no paperwork, legal fees, or other startup costs on your part. You derive immediate tax benefits, and you advise the Foundation’s Board of Trustees as to which charitable organizations, within the Diocese of Brooklyn community (parish, parochial school or a ministry that you have an affinity for,) will be the beneficiaries of your charitable gift. The stewardship of this fund may be passed down to subsequent generations, instilling the joys of philanthropy in your family.

Funds can be established through outright gifts or a plethora of planned-giving options, including charitable gift annuities. Charitable gift annuities guarantee the annuitant (or annuitants) a lifetime income at attractive rates of return with certain tax advantages. Upon the death of all annuitants, the remainder may be added to an existing fund, used to create your own fund, or it can go to the AIHF outright. The choice is yours.

Make the decision to leave a legacy of philanthropy to the future generations of your family and to your Catholic community. Contact Thomas Flood today to see how we can help you become a philanthropist. 718-965-7375 or tflood@aliveinhope.org.
