Become a Legacy Partner in 2010

Our hope is that you find the information on our site helpful. 
It really is amazing to see the power of a gift through those that have become Legacy Partners.  Your gift has the power to change peoples lives for generations as we serve "the least, the last, and the lost". 

For so many people implementing a simple will does so much to legally solidify your desires and intentions.  Discover "The Power of A Will" through this link. You can also run your own illustrations and play with ideas through our confidential and personalized calculators.  You will soon discover how a gift can impact your taxes, capital gains, and change the hearts and lives of those we serve.  Thank you for taking the time and discovering the benefits of Gift Planning!

A Thought for You:

2009 has been a year of Miracles!  I have been amazed at what God is doing here at the Fresno Rescue Mission.  Life change and miracles are everyday life.  I challenge you to join us in making a bigger impact.  We sing to the Lord, "You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance" Psalm 65:11 (NIV).  Let us trust our Lord and let our praises to our Creator never end.


Gift Planning That Changes Lives
The "Core" of Gift Planning is values based estate planning!  It's personal, customizable, has an extremely effective way of implementing your intentions and touches the heart of all those involved.

Allow your heart for planning and desire for changing lives drive the plan.  I have seen the overall planning that is put in place build the assets in an estate and transfer extremely efficiently to the next generation.  Here are the real stories of donors that have given to various organizations including ours.  We have changed the names and pictures for confidentiality purposes and have illustrated them through the eyes of the Fresno Rescue Mission. 


Just click on the pictures or stories and utilize the tools at the bottom of the pages to personalize, for yourself, what God has the ability to do through a gift!  If you have specific questions relating to your personal situation please feel free to call me.  (559) 268-0839 Ext. 209 or e-mail:  foundation@fresnorescuemission.org
