There are many means by
which you can make a lasting gift to your
church, including:
- WILLS—you can leave specified items, a
set amount of money, a percentage of your
estate, or your residuary estate (what
remains after all other persons and
interests have been satisfied).|
- GIFT ANNUITIES—these contracts between
donors and the Foundation guarantee
individuals lifetime income, with the
remainder of the gift going to the donor’s
church or UM organization.
- TRUSTS—may be set up as part of a will
(TESTAMENTARY) or may become operable during
the donor’s lifetime (LIVING). The
Foundation is available to manage trusts and
serve as trustee.
- ESTATE PLANNING PREPARATION—We will help
you consider the important individuals and
institutions in your life and how you want
your property to be distributed when you
will no longer need it—think of this as our
help with “doing your homework” before you
meet with your attorney to have your estate
plan prepared.
- STEWARDSHIP EDUCATION—our Lord said,
“Where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also.” We will help you get both
your treasure and your heart in focus.
