Christ The King Planned Giving

 A charitable gift ensures your legacy makes a difference. You can leave your gift through your will or trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other means. Your gift will impact our ministry for years to come without affecting your current finances. Updating your beneficiary designations takes just a few minutes, is a simple way to make a gift, and you can review them during any stage of life. Additional information on how to make a charitable gift, and other important planning concepts, can be found in the ELCA Foundation’s Estate Planning Toolkit.

If you choose to leave a gift to in your will or trust, the following language is an example of how a bequest to benefit [Ministry Name] may be worded:

“I give, devise and bequeath to [Legal name of ministry] a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in City, ST, Tax ID: [Tax ID of ministry], _____ percent of my residuary estate.”
