Planned Giving

While the Church of St. Michael and St. George has been blessed by the generosity of parishioners through the years, our endowment is far smaller than those of many similar-sized Episcopal churches. This may be due to any number of factors, but there is one single, simple truth - to ensure the future viability and growth of our church, it is essential that we build our endowment. Each of us can and should play a part.

What Is Planned Giving?

Simply put, planned giving is making a gift now to be received by the church at a later date. It can be a gift of securities, real estate, tangibles, cash or virtually anything of value and in any amount. One does not need to be wealthy to make a gift of lasting value. Bequests can be either restricted or unrestricted. Income from all gifts is used by the board of trustees of the endowment fund in a number of important ways including:

To enhance the worship of God through music.
To foster maintenance and modify the physical structure of the church.
To initiate and grow ministries within our parish and beyond.
To support adult education and spiritual formation.
To encourage the youth ministries and church school.
Provide for clergy and staff development.

There Are Significant Advantages For The Giver And For The Church

There are a number of ways to make a planned gift to the church. There are also significant income, gift and estate tax advantages. Knowledgeable and experienced members of our parish will be happy to work with you to develop an approach designed to benefit the church and your family.
