Perhaps you have only been involved with Hope Lives for a short time. Or, you have helped us for years. Regardless, you have seen firsthand what a difference one person can make and maybe you would like to do more.  Yet, you’re not really sure how to do this, how to maximize your contributions in a way that makes the most financial sense for you and your family.  How can I best maximize my gift—stretching the dollars I do give? Can I do this in a way that provides some relief from taxes? If so, how? Is there a way to improve my own financial situation and at the same time help Hope Lives?
