Planned Giving offers our friends a means of accomplishing their charitable objectives that is consistent with their personal values, and takes into account their overall financial and estate plans.  In addition to will provisions, a number of life income plans are available to accommodate individual situations.  While these plans differ in detail, there are a number of benefits common to all.

These benefits include:

• the satisfaction of making an investment in ministry that will help provide the distribution of the Bible for the next 200 years
• income for life (or, in some cases, a term of years) with the option of providing for a beneficiary as well
