Selecting a Gift Plan

There are many ways to make a gift to the Church ranging from outright gifts to simple bequests, permanent endowment funds and life income plans. You may make a gift of cash, securities, or property and receive income during your lifetime or you may designate others to receive income during their lifetimes. Thereafter, the remainder of your gift will benefit a particular Presbyterian-related mission cause that you designate.

Permanent endowment funds are perpetual funds, the assets of which are owned and invested by the Foundation. The income earned is paid to the Presbyterian entity or validated mission you designate. Any person may make an addition to the fund at any time.

An irrevocable gift to the Foundation can create a donor-advised fund, allowing the donor or his/her designees to advise the Foundation of charitable distributions from the fund over a period of years.

Life income plans administered by the Foundation are a commonly used method for giving.
