Leaving a Legacy

Gospel Rescue Mission hosted the first gathering in our new Leave a Legacy of Hope: Coffee & Conversation Series at Opportunity Coffee & Cafe. We are grateful to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of meaningful conversation about generosity, stewardship, and creating an impact that can extend far beyond our own lifetimes.

A special thank you to Bill Stevens, Trey Andrew, and Joseph Schmidt of Generous Wealth Advisors, along with Tim MacDonald, President of National Christian Foundation Southwest, who joined GRM leadership to share their expertise, insights, and answer questions in a relaxed, conversational setting.

Together, we explored practical approaches to charitable giving, including the Arizona Tax Credit, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), year-end giving strategies, current tax-law considerations, and planned giving.

But the conversation was about more than taxes and financial planning. It was about how thoughtful generosity today can help provide hope, shelter, recovery, and life transformation for men, women, and children experiencing homelessness throughout Southern Arizona.

Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, shared ideas, and helped make our first Coffee & Conversation gathering such a meaningful beginning. And a special thank you to the Opportunity Coffee & Cafe team for creating such a welcoming setting for our guests and providing such delicious snacks and refreshments!

This was only the beginning. We look forward to continuing the Leave a Legacy of Hope series with more opportunities to learn, connect, and discover how generosity can make a difference for generations to come.

💛 Today’s generosity. Tomorrow’s transformation.
