Planned Giving

Planned giving is as simple as selecting the charitable organization(s), such as Lead Like Jesus, that you would like to support. Then choose the type of gift that best meets the needs of you and your family.

Five of the easiest and most popular ways to establish a legacy of caring are:

  • Use a will or trust to invest a specific sum of money or a percentage of your estate.
  • Name a charitable organization, such as Lead Like Jesus, as the beneficiary of a tax-deferred retirement plan or IRA.
  • Establish a life income gift such as a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity.
  • Make a gift of a new or existing life insurance policy.
  • Invest your primary residence or a vacation home under a life estate agreement.

Once you make a gift, you'll find that along with establishing a legacy, there will likely be other financial benefits as well. These are based on the type of gift and may include income tax savings and payments for life.

An estate planning attorney or tax adviser can help you with the specifics of your charitable gift, or Lead Like Jesus can provide the assistance you need. Regardless, there is no better way to cement your legacy than by providing help and hope to future generations.
