7 Faith Lutheran Church Mission Endowment Fund What is Planned Giving Planned giving is all about giving for the long term. Endowment funds are invested to help ensure that the church can continue its mission and ministry beyond our lifetimes. When we make a planned gift, we are giving to something that will continue in perpetuity. Part of the sense of satisfaction that comes from making a planned gift lies in the knowledge that we can make a lasting impact; we can leave a legacy for generations yet to come. Most church members think of giving in terms of plate offerings. Typically they make a pledge to a stewardship or capital campaign based on anticipated annual income. By contrast, a planned gift typically comes from accumulated assets rather than annual income. A planned gift can be a oncein-a-lifetime gift. In many cases, it may require the assistance of an attorney or other professional financial advisor. Planned gifts can be as varied as the interests of the donor. They can include such items as stocks and bonds or other appreciated securities, insurance policies, retirement plans, art or antique collections, real estate or other assets. The gift may be made through such vehicles as trusts, charitable gift annuities, a donor advised fund or a bequest in a will. Current members of our Endowment Committee are as follows: Karen Glenn, Chairperson; Bonnie Hensley, Secretary; John Berg, Treasurer; Mary Sabatka, and Jim Preston. We are developing a program to provide information and workshops to help everyone understand what the Mission Endowment is all about, and how to become involved. We will continue to put articles in the Faith at Work, bulletins, and on our website:
