You can bequeath a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the residual after providing for your family. This final act of stewardship is a great way to extend your support for the advancement of God's Kingdom, ensuring your assets will make a difference in the lives of those who wait to hear God's Word.
Life Insurance Policies
One way to make a gift to GNV is through life insurance policies.
You may currently have a policy that you purchased for other reasons and no longer need the coverage, or you may receive dividends on certain policies for which you no longer need the income. These are just two examples on how to give through life insurance policies. Contact your life insurance agent or a qualified financial planner to explain how you can give through life insurance, and take advantage of charitable contribution benefits.
Bequests
The easiest and most inexpensive way to make a deferred gift to GNV is to include us in your will or revocable trust. Each individual legacy contributes to the financial strength of GNV.
A bequest is easy to arrange (see sample text below). It is not payable until death, so it does not affect your assets or cash flow during your lifetime. It is private — your will is not filed or made public until your death. And, it is revocable — you can change the provisions in your will or trust at any time until death.
In many cases, wills specify the amount or percentage of the estate or property. Following is an example of how such a bequest may be drafted:
I give, devise, and bequeath to Grace ‘N Vessels of Christ Ministries of Danbury, CT, (the sum of $_____________) or (_____% of my estate) (the following property) or (the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate). The property comprising this gift may be used to further the charitable purposes of GNV Ministries at its discretion.
Be sure to consult your attorney for assistance in making a bequest.
Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
Stocks and bonds that have appreciated and incurred capital gain taxes (and for which you no longer need the income) may benefit GNV. Simply contact your financial advisor and let them know of your intentions in this regard. Then contact GNV for delivery instructions.
