Sustaining Hope: Monthly Giving
The need for support in Genesee County, Michigan, remains urgent, with many families, children, and seniors facing significant economic hardship. The county’s poverty and food insecurity rates are notably high; Genesee County’s overall poverty rate is higher than the state average, and childhood food insecurity is also a major concern, being higher than the Michigan state rate.
This means many of our neighbors are struggling with the impossible choice between paying for essentials like rent or utilities and putting nutritious food on the table. For our children, whose development is critical, and for our growing population of seniors on fixed incomes, the cost of living—especially rising food and utility prices—exacerbates an already difficult situation. As a vital, non-denominational emergency resource center for East Genesee County, Outreach East steps into this gap to provide essential support like food, clothing, utility assistance, and other resources – serving thousands of community members (over 8500) annually.

Leave a Legacy of Hope with Outreach East
The “best” way depends on your goals, the type of assets you have, and whether you want to maximize tax benefits for your heirs while also supporting the nonprofit. Here are the main options people usually consider:
- Name the Charity as a Beneficiary
- Retirement Accounts (IRA, 401k, 403b): These are often the most tax-efficient assets to leave to charity, since nonprofits don’t pay income tax but your heirs would.
- Life Insurance Policies: You can name the nonprofit as a full or partial beneficiary.
- Bank or Investment Accounts (POD/TOD designations): Add the nonprofit as a payable-on-death (POD) or transfer-on-death (TOD) beneficiary.
Easy to set up, doesn’t require rewriting your will, and avoids probate.
- Include a Bequest in Your Will or Trust
- Specific Bequest: Leave a set dollar amount.
- Percentage Bequest: Leave a percentage of your estate (helps account for changes in your estate value).
- Residuary Bequest: Leave what’s left after other gifts and expenses are settled.
Flexible, but may go through probate.
- Charitable Trusts (for larger estates)
- Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT): Provides income to you or loved ones for life, with the remainder going to the charity.
- Charitable Lead Trust (CLT): Pays the charity for a set time, then passes remaining assets to heirs—often with tax advantages.
Useful if you want to balance supporting family and charity, while reducing estate or gift taxes.
- Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
- You can create a DAF during your lifetime, donate into it (with tax benefits), and name your heirs or the nonprofit to receive the remainder when you pass.
Tips:
- Be clear in naming the charity (legal name, address, tax ID).
- If you want to restrict how the gift is used (e.g., food pantry only), put that in writing with the nonprofit ahead of time.
- Talk with both your estate planning attorney and possibly the nonprofit’s development office to align your wishes.
- If you have heirs, retirement accounts usually go to charities and non-retirement assets to people (to minimize taxes).
Your Legacy Lives On
Every gift—large or small—helps ensure that no family in our community has to face hunger or crisis alone. By planning today, you’ll leave behind a legacy of kindness, stability, and hope.

Why an Online Auction?
Why an online auction?
As a food pantry and emergency resource center, we know how important it is to have a steady stream of funding to provide essential services to those in need. That’s why we have chosen to fundraise through monthly online auctions. By conducting online auctions, we are able to tap into a new source of funding that can help us stabilize our funding and plan for future expenses.
Our online auctions provide a fun and engaging way for the community to get involved in our mission. We offer unique items and experiences that are not available through other fundraising channels, which generates excitement and interest from potential supporters. Plus, by conducting monthly auctions, our supporters can look forward to participating in them as a regular part of their giving routine.
Overall, our monthly online auctions are an effective way for us to engage the community, offer unique items and experiences, diversify our funding sources, and generate recurring revenue. We appreciate the support of our community and hope that you will consider participating in our next online auction. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.
