A message from the Kennewick Kiwanis Foundation President
Dear friends of the Kennewick Kiwanis Foundation,
As we near the end of 2024, I want to share with you a tax benefit you may gain by making a direct donation to the Foundation. I’ve linked an article from Paul Hansen of HFG Trust, outlining the tax benefit of making a direct donation to a non-profit, plus, he also discusses the option of leaving a legacy gift through your will or estate plan. Both are tremendous ways to make an impact on youth in our community. Please consider the Kennewick Kiwanis Foundation after you’ve read his article. And if you have any questions, please contact your financial planner, or accountant.
Recently, Rick and Micki McKinnon gave me their approval to share the $120,000 planned gift they have given the Kennewick Kiwanis Foundation in memory of their son Timothy Andrew McKinnon.
The McKinnon’s modified their estate plan to include this gift to the Foundation, plus 4 other non-profits they support in the community, when they tragically lost Tim in late 2022. They want him to be remembered through the great work of non-profit organizations in our community. Rick and Micki are very kind and generous people who raised 4 children, had successful careers, and now wish to leave something meaningful to make a difference in our community for generations to come.
We are humbled and thankful for their generosity.
Chuck DeGooyer, President
