Planned giving costs you nothing now, and gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing for a charitable organization’s future.
Advantages include:

• You can modify your bequest if circumstances change during your lifetime
• You retain full control and use of your assets during your lifetime
• Gifts from your estate may be exempt from federal estate taxes

• Can be changed at anytime

The principal of the original contribution is never spent – only a portion of its earning is annually allocated for the purpose of the endowment. The remaining amount of the fund earned income is reinvested to ensure future financial growth.
