Philanthropy is a calling

What Is Planned Giving?

Planned Giving allows anyone to make a substantial contribution to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church — regardless of your income or financial status, whether you have one talent, or five. It is a way in which everyone has a chance to further God’s work. Not only that, planned giving also provides significant financial benefits to the giver.

Here’s how:

Some planned gifts provide lifelong income to the donor (yes, you read that correctly). Other gift plans significantly reduce taxes that would otherwise take a big chunk out your loved ones’ inheritance — providing for both this ministry and your heirs in ways that maximize the gift while minimizing its impact on your estate.

In short, a planned gift is any major gift that is part of a donor’s overall financial planning.

Planned Gifts Can Go a Long Way in Doing the Lord’s Work

• It allows you to make a far bigger impact than you could with gifts of cash.
• A planned gift allows us to carry out our calling far into the future, while making a difference today.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not. The information on these pages will show you that the advantages of a planned gift are real and significant to the future of St. Andrew's.
