There is no better time to estate plan. When you do, you can wake up every day knowing that no matter what happens, you have provided for your family, friends and the ministry and mission most important to you. There is nothing more joyful or dependable.
If you like controlling the timing of your charitable giving and your income tax deduction,
then a Donor Advised Fund makes sense. It's generally easy to establish and is a hassle-free way of giving to your favorite ministries and missions.
On Legacy Sunday, you can plan a service on generosity, as well as provide informational resources to your potential donors about how they can use planned giving with the help of the American Baptist Foundation to empower your ministry and mission.
