Commitment to service at Kirkwood is the heart and soul of the community. We began as a ministry of Independent Presbyterian Church, and a generous financial donation from Eugene and Annette Ireland served as challenge to others to not only lend their hearts and prayers to Kirkwood but to invest their time and money here as well. Throughout the years, that same spirit of generosity has sustained and enhanced Kirkwood’s mission as the baton was passed from generation to generation.
Kirkwood accepts gifts in almost any form, from cash or securities to the more complex, such as bequests, trusts and annuities. As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, our flexibility makes the process easy for our donors while allowing them to obtain all allowable income and/or estate tax benefits.
In many cases, gifts, trusts and bequests to Kirkwood can be used to help the donor reduce taxes, increase income, or both. Kirkwood can provide information to potential donors to assist in finding the best gift vehicle, but may not serve as a personal advisor on tax or legal matters. The prospective donor should seek his or her own legal and tax advisor, as well as discuss gifts with family members.
A memorial is a good way to ensure that loved ones, either residents of Kirkwood or non-residents who cared about Kirkwood, remain a permanent part of life at Kirkwood.
