Legacy Giving
Giving for the future of Saint Peter’s
Much of what we now enjoy at Saint Peter’s is the result of faithful gifts from those who came before us. Legacy giving is one way we extend that same faithfulness into the future.
Whether you are considering a current gift to a long-term fund or making plans through your will or estate, these gifts help ensure that Saint Peter’s remains strong, faithful, and ready to meet the opportunities ahead.
Saint Peter’s offers two funds for legacy giving —
the General Endowment Fund and the Generation to Generation Fund.
Choosing between the two funds
Choose the General Endowment Fund for broad long-term strength.
Choose the Generation-to-Generation Fund for future ministry, capital needs, and planned gifts.
If you are unsure, contact us.
General Endowment Fund
Provides long-term support for the future strength and ministry of Saint Peter’s.
This fund is intended for those who want to make an enduring gift that helps sustain the church over time.
Best for: long-term support for the future well-being of Saint Peter’s
Generation to Generation Fund
Supports gifts intended to bless the church for generations to come, including future ministry, one-time mission opportunities, and capital needs. It is especially appropriate for bequests and other planned gifts made through wills, trusts, retirement accounts, or similar vehicles.
Best for: planned and legacy gifts that provide for future ministry and special opportunities.
Ways legacy gifts can be made
Legacy gifts may take many forms, including:
a bequest in your will or trust
a beneficiary designation through a retirement account
a gift of appreciated securities
a life insurance designation
other forms of planned giving
We encourage you to speak with your attorney, financial advisor, or tax advisor as you consider these possibilities. The Church Treasurer can provide assistance.
A quiet act of hope
Legacy giving is an act of trust. It is one way of saying that the grace we have received here is something we hope others will receive as well.
Thank you for considering a gift that will bless Saint Peter’s for generations to come.
