What is Planned Giving?
The Bible states that God’s people are to be wise stewards of the assets that He has given to them. Planned Giving is a term used to describe a wise steward’s approach to gift planning. Spencer Jackson of ABWE’s Planned Giving Department will help you take advantage of opportunities provided by our tax laws to increase the effectiveness of your giving or combine giving goals with personal financial planning goals. Programs include giving through wills, trusts, annuities and other plans. Planning wisely can make it possible to provide gifts to missions after your estate assets and liabilities have been settled.

In its simplest terms, a planned gift is any giving that requires planning. Donors can use a variety of different assets to make a planned gift. Gifts can be made in a number of ways that can provide benefits for the donor and the donors family, as well as make a larger gift to AVSP.

This term refers to charitable giving that is planned ahead of time. These gifts can be advantageous to the giver by providing significant tax benefits and/or income for life and at the same time providing a gift for the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. The variety of methods used to make these gifts range from simple bequests made in Wills to setting up Charitable Trusts. We believe that God has gifted some individuals with a special ability to generate substantial amounts of income and net worth with the specific purpose of funding the work of the Kingdom and especially evangelism. We believe that God calls these people and places a desire in their hearts to be involved in His work in a significant way. It is our responsibility to help individuals maximize their income and assets as the Lord directs. Our commitment is to assist donors in providing funds for the people and/or ministries God has placed on their hearts.
Planned Giving is the process of thinking about your long-term philanthropic plans and how you want your philanthropy to uphold the values that are important to you for years to come. A planned gift is any charitable donation, immediate or deferred, that considers an individual’s personal tax, financial, and estate planning circumstances. Planned gifts can range from simple gifts of cash to sophisticated charitable trusts or foundations that are integrated into your financial and estate plan.
