Estate & Planned Gifts
Estate and planned giving offers you the opportunity to support the seminary while maximizing tax and income benefits. Examples of planned giving vehicles include:
Wills--by remembering the seminary in your will, you can support the seminary beyond your lifetime; through your will, you may create endowed scholarships or other funds to ensure the seminary’s future
Charitable gift annuities--offer you and your spouse income during your lifetimes based on your ages while at the same time making a gift to support the preparation of pastors for ministry
Charitable remainder unitrusts--IRS defined giving vehicles that offer you a range of tax and income benefits
Life insurance--you may either contribute an existing life insurance policy or establish a new one; premiums are tax-deductible
The seminary works with a number of partners in estate and planned giving,

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Foundation (http://www.elca.org/fo/)
Lutheran Community Foundation (http://www.thelcf.org/)
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (http://www.thrivent.com)
