Most people want to leave a legacy and something that continues after them when they die; many don’t realize they have the means to do so.
The Stewardship Foundation of Greater New Jersey in Partnership with the UM Communities Foundation is sponsoring a Planned Giving Workshop that will provide information for on ways that you can develop and grow a Planned Giving Program in your local church, and advice for you as an individual on how to create a plan for yourself.
There has never been a better time to focus on planned giving and developing endowment funds and Endowment committees in our local congregations. Endowment funds These Endowment funds can generate 4-4.5% annually as one of the multiple income streams congregations need, often, as part of their sustainable and vital fiscal models.
The GNJ Foundation can resource you with the tools you need for success. We have a template for establishing an “Endowment Committee” as well as one a “Gift Acceptance Policy.” And, we will help you access these resources and more our PLANNED GIVING WORKSHOP at the Conference Mission and Resource Center in Neptune, NJ from 9am-1pm on February 20.
Imagine the difference it would make if every member, regardless of the size of the estate, remembered your congregation in their legacy giving. Together we can grow a culture of GRACE-rooted Generosity with clear ways people can give a portion of their estate and designated gifts to your congregation. We’ll also provide guidance for how to protect and invest these funds so that they become a perpetual income stream for ongoing ministry impact.
Led by Larry Springer, a Certified Financial Planner, and Michael E. Weintraub, Esq., an Estate Planning Attorney, this event will give you the tools you need to grow your planned giving program in your local church. As a church leader, lay or clergy, you cannot afford to miss this important event. Gather a team of leaders from your local church and register today!
