Leave a Legacy of Hope

Your generosity transforms lives today, and it can keep transforming lives for generations. Legacy giving (also called planned giving) is a simple way to include Portland Rescue Mission in your long-term plans, helping provide meals, shelter, recovery programs, and a path forward for men, women, and children in our community.

You can create a lasting impact, often at no cost, during your lifetime.

Simple Ways to Leave a Legacy

We have a variety of avenues you can take to leave a lasting impact on our community.

Include PRM in Your Will or Living Trust

Bequests offer a simple way to leave a planned gift through your will or trust, allowing you to designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remaining balance after your loved ones have been provided for.

Name PRM as a Beneficiary

By listing PRM as a beneficiary on retirement, insurance, or financial accounts via a simple form, you can ensure future support for the ministry while maintaining full control over your assets throughout your lifetime.

Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

If you already have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to PRM anytime, or set up ongoing support. You can also name PRM as a successor beneficiary for future giving.

Give Appreciated Assets

Gifts of appreciated stock or other assets can be a powerful, tax-smart way to support PRM—either now or as part of your larger legacy plan.

Charitable Gift Annuity

Make a gift and receive fixed payments for life, with remaining funds supporting PRM’s work.

Charitable Trusts

Certain trusts can provide income to you or your loved ones, while also creating a meaningful legacy of care and restoration through PRM.

Portland Rescue Mission can’t provide legal or financial advice. We encourage you to consult your attorney or financial advisor to determine what’s best for your situation.

Portland Rescue Mission is 100% community-funded

That means your legacy gift makes you a part of the work PRM is doing!
