Does your parish struggle with encouraging giving to your endowment? Are leaders concerned about how they will be able to fund necessary and innovative ministries in the future? A well planned and intentional Planned Giving ministry at your parish can encourage gifts to empower the mission and ministry for your parish both now and for decades to come! In this workshop, take the mystery out of planned giving for your parish. Learn in easy to understand terms how planned giving differs from annual stewardship and capital campaigns, and how your parish can build endowments through wills, life income gifts and other options. After a review of the planned giving instruments, you will learn about the importance of a parish vision, protecting and growing your endowment, and how to invite others to remember your parish through estate and financial planning. You will leave the workshop with a plan of action!
