Planned Giving
Planned giving is normally a term used for the activity of planning contributions to charities that will happen in the future. Planned gifts typically require more planning, negotiation and counsel than an outright gift but by working with your attorney, accountant or financial advisor to make a donation, planned gifting will allow you (1) to support causes which you care about in your estate plans and (2) to make a tremendous difference in the world you leave behind. Donors who choose to establish planned gifts to benefit the Asbury Foundation continue to support Asbury and its ministries for generations. Contributions may be used to expand an existing ministry, create a new ministry or provide an opportunity for mission work at home or abroad. When making a planned gift you could consider donating:
- Securities (Stocks and Bonds)
- Business Interests
- Cash
- Life Insurance Policiies
- Personal Property
- Real Estate
- Retirement Plans
Whatever avenue you choose, financial planning for the future allows you to direct your gifts to the area of your choice. With so many different giving options available, establishing a planned gift can be confusing. The Asbury Foundation is happy to point donors in the right direction for help in creating an estate gift.
