FAQs

Planned giving does not have to be complicated. It is simply a way to plan ahead so that your gifts do the most good for the people and ministries you care about. Each gift, regardless of the amount, makes a world of difference. See commonly asked questions below.

    • Trust 

    • Life Insurance and Retirement Plans 

  • Whether you believe you have a lot of money or not, it is wise to make plans for the future. Everyone needs a will so your family will know your wishes. You can often avoid certain estate taxes* by planning ahead so that whatever remains after you pass away can be used effectively. 

    *A financial advisor can give you specific information on planned giving and taxes. 

  • No one is certain exactly how much money will remain at the end of their life. You can make your plans in a way that takes care of your loved ones first and then benefits charity. Planned gifts like Charitable Gift Annuities can even help provide extra income during your retirement years.

  • Right now is the best time. Do not wait for a crisis. You can always make changes to a will in the future, but there is no better time than now to make your plans.

  • A trusted financial advisor can help you begin the process, and Begin Anew can guide you to the right place for advice.
