ONE gift,a lifetime investment

Our mission is to secure the financial future of Noah Homes and share our exceptional model of care globally.

In California alone, there are more than 350,000 people with developmental disabilities. Within this underserved population, people with Down syndrome are nearly 6 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than people who do not have Down syndrome.

At the same time, according to the County Welfare Directors Association of California and Regional Council of Homelessness, older adults are the fastest-growing segment of California's homeless population, with nearly half of unhoused older people experiencing their first episode of homelessness after age 50.

We need more housing and services for more people in more places, and we need it yesterday. You can help us achieve our dream by donating to our Foundation.

Beneficiary Designation Gifts

Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plan, is an excellent way to make a gift to Noah's Ark Angel Foundation.

If you are like most people, you probably will not use all of your retirement assets during your lifetime. You can make a gift of your unused retirement assets to help further our mission.

Benefits of gifts of retirement assets

  • Simplify your planning
  • Support the causes that you care about
  • Continue to use your account as long as you need to
  • Heirs can instead receive tax-advantaged assets from the estate
  • Receive potential estate tax savings from an estate tax deduction

How to make a gift of retirement assets

To leave your retirement assets to Noah's Ark Angel Foundation, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. If you designate Noah's Ark Angel Foundation as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your retirement assets will not be taxed at your death. Your estate will benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.

Future gifts from your retirement assets

Did you know that 40%-60% of your retirement assets may be taxed if you leave them to your heirs at your death? Another option is to leave your heirs assets that receive a step up in basis, such as real estate and stock, and give the retirement assets to Noah's Ark Angel Foundation. As a charity, we are not taxed upon receiving an IRA or other retirement plan assets. You can use the "Make a Future Gift of Retirement Assets" tool to contact your retirement plan custodian and designate a future gift to Noah's Ark Angel Foundation.
