Planned Giving and Estate Planning
Planned giving is a wonderful way to make a commitment to St. Stephen’s that will last long beyond your lifetime. We have been blessed to be the beneficiaries of gifts for this purpose, and we never cease to be grateful to those who look ahead to the future of our church. Making gifts from your estate, through your will or a bequest, making gifts from your retirement accounts, or making gifts from life insurance are common ways donors do this.
You can also make a gift to St. Stephen’s and receive income now that you cannot outlive. Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Gift Annuities, and Pooled Income Funds are all easy to establish and provide wonderful gifts to the church while providing you with an income stream for life. Please contact the church office if you are interested in making one of these gifts.
