Planned Giving

Gift and Estate Design Services

You are serious about your stewardship, and our desire is to help you be a great steward.

Did you know that for most of us our giving is strictly in cash …which is only 9% of what we own? The remaining 91% of what we own is rarely considered within our stewardship strategy! And yet, gifting these assets can help us make our most significant ministry impact. In addition, gifts of these assets are often very powerful tools for bypassing capital gains, minimizing income taxes or reducing potential estate taxes.

Consider these options:

  • Gifts of appreciated stock or real estate
  • Complex gifts such as an interest in your business
  • Gifts of life insurance
  • Gifts of art and collections
  • Gifting an interest in your home, vacation property or farm while retaining the right to use the properties for your lifetime
  • Gifting a beneficial interest in your pension plan
  • Gifting a portion of your residual estate

This Gift Planning Resource Center is here to help you to become more aware of the wonderful tools and strategies used by great stewards.

When a team-effort can help you maximize the impact of your giving, we stand ready to serve you as one of your trusted stewardship teammates.
