You’ve led a lifetime of giving. What’s next?

Legacy giving enables you to support your community long into the future. There are many ways to make a legacy gift:

  • Bequests (wills or trusts)
  • Gifts of life insurance
  • Donations of unused retirement assets (e.g., IRAs, 401(k)s)
  • Charitable gift annuities

Why consider a legacy gift to HRB?

  • Tax advantages: Reduce potential estate or income tax.
  • Lasting impact: Help keep families housed for generations.
  • Personal fulfillment: Know that you’ve made a meaningful difference in your community.
  • Ripple effect: Inspire others in the community to give back.
  • Exclusive appreciation events: Socialize with donors who share your passion for affordable housing.

Welcome to Eden

Pino and Lani Sordello, owners of mom-and-pop business Via Rosa 11, treat their workers like family. How else to keep these valued employees, who cannot afford the island’s high-priced housing, driving in from distant towns?
