People Working Cooperatively Introduces Home Repair Bequest Society
Posted on December 28, 2010 by
Here at People Working Cooperatively, the nonprofit organization that helps low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners with critical home repairs, energy conservation, weatherization, and mobility modifications, we've announced our newly designed Planned Giving Program.
Central to the Planned Giving Program is the new Home Repair Bequest Society, designed to recognize and honor friends of PWC who leave a legacy to the organization through a planned gift. These gifts include wills, charitable trusts or other deferred gift arrangements, like retirement planned gifts or real estate.
According to Bill Hitch, PWC development manager, the Home Repair Bequest Society has been established to receive and acknowledge when people make a bequest in their will. “This is a critical piece of our planned giving program – to ensure that people who understand the importance of keeping our neighbors in their homes leave a legacy for many generations to come,” he said.
“Bequests provide critical support of People Working Cooperatively and assure the future viability of the organization,” Hitch explained. “This is also another way to ensure that repairs to homes, modifications for mobility and energy conservation services will be accessible to all clients in PWC’s operating territory.”
We have seen the demand for our services steadily increase each year, making The Home Repair Bequest Society even more critical.
“We’re proud of our 35 year history, dedication, and reputation of performing essential repairs and services so low-income homeowners can remain in their homes, living independently in a safe, sound environment,” said PWC President Jock Pitts. “We hope that people will consider helping this mission continue for future generations by making a planned contribution.”
