While many of our families are able to pay the $30 per night fee, others do not have the financial means. Because no one is turned away if he or she cannot pay, your tax deductible contribution is important. It will help provide the support we need to maintain operations while keeping fees to a minimum for those we serve.
The WVU Foundation serves as the fiduciary agent for the Rosenbaum Family House.

Gifts that Pay Income
Gift Annuity
A Charitable Gift Annuity is a contract that will pay you or a beneficiary a fixed amount for the rest of your life. If you don’t need your income stream yet, you can set up a deferred gift annuity and set up a future date to begin receiving payments.
Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CRAT) is like a gift annuity, and makes annual payments fixed at a specific percentage of the value of the trust when it is established. It provides a fixed amount for a term or years, or for life.
Alternatively, a Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT) pays you or other named beneficiary a fixed percentage of the principal in the trust as it is valued annually. Additional gifts can be made to a CRUT at any time.
Gifts that Protect Assets
A Charitable Lead Trust provides an annual payment for a fixed term of years, after which the principal is returned to the individuals whom you designate. This can serve to reduce your taxable estate and convey your property to your heirs at considerable tax savings.
Gifts with Retained Use
Retained Life Estates allow you to give their home or other property to the Rosenbaum Family House while retaining the right to live in and use the property while they are alive.
Hope House
Set up a coin collection box at your business location to help raise money for the Family House. Please contact Brandon Cook to make arrangements for a small collection box to be delivered to your location.
