Gift Planning
Our Star Society recognizes individuals who have included Friendship Haven in their estate plans through bequests, charitable trusts, gift annuities, or life insurance. Such planned giving can achieve personal goals, reduce taxes, and support our mission. Friendship Haven provides an average of $2 million in charitable care annually, with the Care Trust Fund and Good Samaritan Fund ensuring residents' peace of mind while maintaining confidentiality.
For more information about any of these funds, the Star Society, or to make a donation, please contact Jen Lane, Director of Engagement, at 515-573-6005 or email here.
