Introduction to Planned Giving |
|
The financial stability of St. Dunstan’s Church is essential to its mission and we invite your participation and generosity.
While
many of our parishioners support the Church through outright gifts of
cash or other property, there is a growing awareness of the value of
providing long-term benefits to the Church through Planned Giving.
Planned Giving offers members of the Church the opportunity to
participate in accomplishing our Lord's work in a variety of ways, some
of which provide mutual benefits for both the donor and the Church.
There are many types of Planned Gifts. You and your financial advisers
can select a form of gift that is consistent with your personal values,
accomplishes your charitable goals and takes into consideration your
overall financial and estate plan. Besides simple will provisions,
there are a number of life income plans available which can sometimes
result in larger gifts than originally anticipated while also enhancing
your income stream. Some of the ways to provide for the Church through
Planned Gifts are as follows:
Planned
gifts, as well as outright gifts, can be funded in a variety of ways,
including cash, appreciated securities, mutual funds, retirement plans,
real estate and business interests. The Church will work closely with
you to help develop a plan that is best suited to wishes and desires.
Planned gifts represent a sound “spiritual investment” in the work of
the Church for generations to come.
