Make a lasting Impression
Your Will and Testament
How will your beliefs and values be supported after you are gone? How can you support permanently what you supported during your life? If you don’t decide and make a plan, it will be made for you by others. Give your loved ones a gift by making end of life decisions sooner rather than later. Your will is an important legal and financial document, but it is also a faith statement that can endow what was important to you during your lifetime. A planned gift is a permanent present to be unwrapped by future generations.
Give While Living
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA) allow you to create a guaranteed stream of income for life with tax benefits that begin today, while at the same time leaving a legacy for Ferncliff tomorrow. A CGA is a simple contract that allows you to give a portion of your assets now, receive a guaranteed income for the rest of your life, and designate that the remaining assets are to be distributed to Ferncliff at the end of your lifetime. TPF guarantees your lifetime income, even if the entire principle of the gift has been distributed.
Lasting Gifts
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) can help you meet your current financial goals and provide for meaningful stewardship of your assets in the future. Powerful estate planning tools, CRTs are irrevocable trusts that allow donors to receive ongoing income for the remainder for their lives – and upon their death, could potentially include income for children or designated heirs. These trusts also allow donors to enjoy substantial tax benefits and could provide a generous gift to Ferncliff upon their deaths.
Gifts that Keep on Giving
Endowments
Is your goal is to ensure that support of Ferncliff continues far in the future? If so, the Texas Presbyterian Foundation (TPF) can help you create a permanent Endowment Fund to benefit Ferncliff for many years to come. An endowment fund is a fund held by a charitable organization in which the donor has imposed a restriction that prohibits some or all of the fund from being spent currently. IT is a permanent, trusted fund created with a tax-deductible donation from a donor. Endowments can be created by a donor during a lifetime or as part of a will. TPF will work with you to execute an agreement that will match your designers with Ferncliff’s needs.
