Legacy Giving

What is legacy giving?

“Legacy Giving” is simply planning to make a difference, both for yourself and for a cause that you believe in, through a charitable gift. The goal of such gifts is to “leave a legacy” that can bless and sustain future generations.

Who can create a legacy gift?

Is it a complicated process?

Any person, at any point in life, can create a legacy gift.  It can be as easy as naming a charity on the beneficiary form on a savings, checking or pension account, or through a more complex instrument like a charitable trust. You should seek the advice of an estate-planning professional when deciding which option(s) will best achieve your goals. No matter which instrument you choose, all gifts represent an influential and meaningful way to create a caring legacy.

A legacy gift can:

​

  • Provide a tax advantage (often the tax benefits are quite substantial)

  • Complete your goals for estate plans

  • Complement your most cherished lifestyle values

  • Support a cause you care about

If you have questions about how to create a lasting legacy for Wapping Community Church, or have already decided to take this important step in your estate planning, please contact the Church Office.
