Planning for the Future

Legacy funding offers churches a pathway for lasting impact beyond weekly giving. By

encouraging planned gifts—such as bequests or endowments—churches invite members to

express their faith by supporting future ministry. These legacy gifts can provide for building

projects, scholarships, or outreach for years to come. Establishing a legacy fund is

straightforward: set clear guidelines, publicize opportunities, and honor those who give. By

integrating legacy planning into the church’s financial strategy, leaders ensure that today’s

generosity builds tomorrow’s church—sustaining the mission for generations.
