Planned or Legacy Gifts

There are several ways to include LPGM in your plans:

• Bequests: Make a gift to support our future work by including LPGM in your will or living trust, which offers an estate tax charitable deduction.

• Retirement Plan Assets: Use your tax-deferred retirement plan to continue supporting our work. If you have an IRA and are over the age of 70½, you may make a gift directly from your account without paying federal income tax on the withdrawal.

• Charitable Trusts: Explore ways a life income gift can pay income to you or your chosen beneficiary for a term of years or for life, while also providing future support for our global ministry.

• Life Insurance: Naming LPGM in a life insurance policy that is no longer needed for family support or liquidity may be an excellent vehicle for a gift. Consult your tax advisor to see if this type of planning makes sense for you and your loved ones.

You may then recommend grants from your fund over time. By using a DAF, you centralize your giving, making record-keeping easier.
