Tribute
With a tribute gift to the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, you can honor the important people in your life by ensuring that residents of the nation’s capital who are homeless have access to counsel. Your gift will provide legal representation to individuals; advocacy on policy and budget issues to assure that public programs meet our clients’ needs; homelessness prevention through affordable housing preservation; support for low- and no-income community members to become engaged in the public decision-making processes that impact their lives; and so much more.
The Gift of Justice is perfect for Christmas, Hanukkah, weddings, graduations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays or any other special occasion.
Cy Pres
Because the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless assists low- and no-income clients on such a broad range of issues, there are many instances in which we would be an appropriate recipient of cy pres funds. While the judge ultimately will decide whether a cy pres award is fair and reasonable and who the appropriate recipients of that award will be, we urge counsel to consider recommending the Legal Clinic as a beneficiary. For more information, contact the Legal Clinic’s executive director, Amber Harding at amber[at]legalclinic.org.
Assets and Donor-Advised Funds
The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless welcomes gifts of stock, and contributions made through donor-advised funds. Your financial advisor can discuss with you the favorable tax benefits of gifting stock or giving through a donor-advised fund to a charitable organization. Please ask your broker or agent to contact our Finance and Administration Manager at 202-328-5511 for DTC information.
Leaving a Legacy of Housing Justice
Planned gifts are a special way to ensure that the Legal Clinic can remain present to our clients well into the future, until everyone has a place to call home. Bequests, insurance policies, charitable trusts and other estate planning charitable gifts can provide substantial estate-tax benefits to the donor while helping us to continue our vital work.
