Planned Giving
A simple act that changes lives.
What is planned giving?
Planned giving is part of financial or estate planning and can be settled now or in the future.
Planned giving gives you the chance to plan ahead to attain your philanthropic goals, taking into account your personal and family circumstances and your tax situation.
Planned giving also allows you to optimize your tax benefits or those of your estate.
A way to perpetuate your values and your commitment to the cause
At Aid to the Church in Need, several planned giving options are available to you: bequests in your will, gifts of life insurance policies and gifts of listed securities. The goal of planned giving is to continue to support and help poor and persecuted Christians through your generosity and love.
A legacy for a cause
The legacy you leave to Aid to the Church in Need will have an impact on future generations and donations will help Aid to the Church in Need to:
• Inform the community about the plight of Christians around the world
• Take action by funding pastoral and emergency projects
A simple act that changes lives
Did you know?
Planned giving is financially reassuring, as it allows you to maintain control over your assets throughout your lifetime and has a lasting effect well beyond your death.
You don’t have to be rich to give, because every gesture counts for the future and changes the lives of thousands of Christians who are poor, persecuted and oppressed because of their faith.
Due to the tax credits available, planned giving often has a minimal impact on the inheritance of your loved ones.
Your legacy will impact generations to come and change lives. You wish to support Aid to the Church in Need to continue its mission, while offering your heirs tax advantages, discover the types of planned giving you can make and their benefits:
