Inspire, Spring 2004

Even the most modest estates can have philanthropic impact and leave the desired inheritance for a family. All you have to do is plan to give your estate twice. Sound implausible? With the help of charitable tax planning, it is being done by many families who have two objectives for their estate. A simple estate planning strategy makes it possible to invest all or a portion of an estate at death in a way that produces income payments for a prescribed period of time. These income payments may be designated for family. Once income payments to the family equal the original value of the inheritance, the estate value is transferred to charity. So, the impact of the estate is doubled by giving the full value of the estate to both family and charity! This means that the spirit of philanthropy and the desire to bestow an inheritance on family can be realized. Variations on this strategy as well as a number of other planning options exist. We are pleased to offer information designed to meet your objectives ... free and without obligation. For details on this and other planning options, contact Dave or Kim in our office of gift planning. All communication and correspondence is treated in complete confidence.

You are “talking it up,” and we are seeing its results. Already this year, several current students have become involved with the Annual Fund, giving gifts to help their fellow students. In each case, the student knew friends and alums who were involved with the Annual Fund and wanted to follow in their footsteps. You may not know any current students, but your example touches their lives. They are watching. Alumni support speaks loudly to them, going beyond simply bridging the gap for them. The time you invest in prayer blesses and encourages us, and the testimony you share helps to bring more students to Cedarville.
