These giving opportunities have the ability to create eternal gifts – gifts that keep giving! Ensuring the blessings we have received will be shared for generations to come.

 

Planned gifts are often bequests, life insurance policies, and similar arrangements where the commitment is made now but the funds are not available to the charity until some future time.

The majority of planned gifts are deferred, but gift planning also includes outright gifts. A planned gift can be a major gift for current needs, consisting of securities or real estate, and structured and timed to limit any tax on capital gain and obtain full benefit of the tax credit.
