Plan your gift, Maximize your impact!
When it comes to providing for your family, financial planning and stewardship go hand-in-hand! If you have a young family, a basic will may be what you need to get started. If you're further down the road in life, you may be looking for ways to make a bigger impact and maximize tax savings. In most every circumstance, planned gifts provide a mechanism for doing good even as you live the good life God has blessed you with!
What makes a planned gift "planned"?
A planned gift is a commitment to give charitable assets from an individual's financial or estate plan.
Are there different types of planned gifts?

- Outright gifts of cash or non-cash assets stated as a specific amount or percentage of an estate.
- Gifts that pay income back to the donor
- Gifts that protect a donor's assets
What are the benefits of planned gifts?
- Planned gifts don't affect your cash flow.
- Planning a gift allows you the benefit of time and strategy.
