When leaving a legacy gift it is important to understand the different benefits to the donor and the Foundation as well as different tax and financial implications. Gifts may be given several times with tax benefits during one’s lifetime instead of as part of an estate.
We encourage you to seek independent financial advice about any gift and to discuss this option with the members of your family so they will appreciate your heart and passion. Donating everlasting financial gifts will ensure that the enduring message of the Gospel will continue to be proclaimed throughout the earth.
