By including God's Love We Deliver in your will, you can offer support without giving up crucial assets you may need now.
Legacy Society
Every day, vulnerable New Yorkers reach out to God’s Love We Deliver for help. We provide them with life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling, free to all clients and their families and always full of love.
The Legacy Society is comprised of dedicated members of our community who ensure the financial strength of God’s Love by including us in their estate plans. Planned gifts create an extraordinary impact, providing God’s Love with the much-needed resources to improve the lives of current and future clients. Joining the Legacy Society is easy – you can make God’s Love a beneficiary in your will, retirement plan, life insurance, trusts, or other estate planning vehicles.
Members enjoy benefits including:
- Acknowledgment in our website’s public listing and Annual Report.
- A distinctive Legacy Society pin and welcome gift.
- Invitations to curated events throughout the year.
- Regular updates and access to God’s Love developments.
- Planting a seed of love that will nourish future New Yorkers.

God’s Love is a 501(c)(3) organization | Federal Tax Identification #13-3366846. Please note: this is not legal advice. Any prospective donor should seek the advice of a qualified estate and/or tax professional to determine the financial consequences of their gift.
Four Options for Getting Started
401 (k), 403 (b), IRA, or pension funds
Retirement Assets
By making a gift of retirement assets, you may save your estate the significant burden of paying both estate and income taxes on those assets.
Donating your life insurance policy to God's Love We Deliver may allow you to claim an immediate income tax deduction for the current value of the policy, and you may also be able to deduct your future premium payments.
Charitable remainder trusts offer supporters a way to provide for themselves and their loved ones while they are alive and also support God's Love We Deliver.
