If you are considering a commitment to God's mission in the world through planned giving, Mission Network offers the following options:
Wills: Through your will, you can contribute to God's mission in three ways:
Life Insurance: When you no longer need life insurance, consider donating the policy to the Mission Network. Policies may be fully paid or still require premiums. In either case, you receive tax benefits while Mission Network receives the face or cash value.
Property Gifts: Non-cash gifts such as farm products, stocks, real estate or mutual funds allow you to contribute to God’s mission and benefit from various tax advantages. If you choose to make a non-tax gift, inform the Mission Network before signing any sale or agreement to receive the appropriate tax benefits.
Charitable remainder trusts: A charitable remainder trust is an irrevocable trust that pays a fixed or variable dollar amount each year to a beneficiary. After the death of the beneficiary or at the end of a set number of years, remaining assets are distributed to Mission Network when it is named in the trust.
Endowments: An endowment allows you to make a major gift to fund a specified mission program for an indefinite period of time. Your gift is invested by the Mission Network and the earnings support the mission program for years to come.
Gift Annuity: With a gift annuity, you make a gift to the Mission Network in cash or marketable securities. In return, you receive guaranteed payments for life. The older you are, the higher the annuity rate you receive. At the time of your death, the Mission Network will receive the balance of your gift annuity. We accept annuities beginning with $5,000 or more in increments of $1,000.
