Planned Giving & Legacy Gifts
Planned giving lets you advance Least of These Ministries’ mission while aligning your financial, family, and estate plans. It’s a biblical way to steward what God has entrusted to you and create a lasting legacy of faith.
What is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is a thoughtful, biblical approach to charitable giving. It aligns your financial, family, and estate planning goals with your desire to advance God’s Kingdom. Rather than giving only from current income, planned giving uses bequests, beneficiary designations, gifts of appreciated assets, and charitable trusts. These strategies create a lasting impact for Least of These Ministries. They also help you meet personal objectives like providing for loved ones, reducing taxes, generating retirement income, or preserving assets. For LOTM, these legacy gifts provide a stable, enduring source of support. They sustain and expand the mission of sharing Christ’s love and transforming lives. This enables confident investment in future ministry opportunities, outreach programs, and discipleship initiatives. For you, planned giving can offer significant financial benefits. These include potential income, estate, and capital gains tax advantages. They also allow you to leave a testimony of faith, generosity, and obedience. This testimony continues to bear eternal fruit long after your lifetime.
Scripture reminds us that everything we possess ultimately belongs to God. We are called to be wise and faithful stewards of the resources He has entrusted to us. Planned giving is not merely a financial decision. It is an act of worship, a commitment to biblical stewardship, and a lasting investment in God’s Kingdom.
"Moreover, it is required in stewards that one be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2)
“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops” (Proverbs 3:9)
