Planned Giving Information
Planned Giving, very simply is planning to make a gift. Planned gifts are generally funded from accumulated resources or assets, rather than income. Typical types of planned gifts are:
- Wills and Bequests
- Gift Annuities
- Gift of Life Insurance
- Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Gifts of Residual Interest
- Cash Gifts and Interest-Free Loans
- Gifts of Listed Securities
The most common Planned Gift received by the church is a bequest. The tax benefit from a bequest accrues to the donor's estate. The Gift Planning Office can also arrange several gifts which allow you to make a gift from in the future but receive the tax benefits now.
