Create a Legacy of Giving: Include a Charity in your Will

Imagine leaving a legacy that continues to impact the lives of students after you’re gone. By including a Christian school in your Will, you can make a lasting impact that expands the influence of Christ in our world. This simple yet profound act of generosity ensures that your values and passions endure, providing financial support to causes that matter to you.

Donations left in a Will can inspire others to give, fostering a culture of generosity and community. Your gift will send a powerful message about the important of Christian education and your desire to expand the influence of Christ in our culture through Christian education.

Including a Christian school or other charity in your Will allows you to make a significant contribution without affecting your current financial situation. You can allocate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or even designate specific assets to your chosen charities. Your gift of any amount will have a transformative impact on the charity, helping them plan for their future and sustain their crucial ministry work. Your gift will ensure your values live on.

Your gift can be used in the short-term, flowing directly to the charity or school. For longer-term intentions, we work with you and the school to create a dedicated fund with your specific purposes and goals in mind. This enables your gift to be used for several years after you’re gone.

Including a charity in your Will can also provide tax benefits for your estate. The charity provides a donation receipt for your estate that can be applied 100% to your taxable income in the year of death or carried back to the year prior. This can potentially reduce the tax burden for your loved ones.

The Christian School Foundation partners with Christian Stewardship Services to provide free expert advice on creating a Will or updating your existing Will. We want to ensure your wishes are clearly documented, creating a powerful legacy of compassion and generosity.

Your planned gift will make a difference and support Christian education or other causes for future generations.
