Description
Planned giving is vital to any faith community. Not only because it can ensure the future, but also because it gives people the opportunity to make a final testament about the importance of their Christian faith. The Episcopal Church Foundation (ECF) is pleased to offer Planned Giving on Demand, a comprehensive package of print and online resources to help you establish, enhance, and sustain an effective planned giving program. Planned Giving on Demand includes:
- Planned Giving on Demand Program Guide: A step-by-step guide to help you launch and sustain your planned giving program. The guide breaks a planned giving program into five levels and provides essential activities and sample timelines for each, from Getting Started to the Legacy Society Stage. This guide will help you access and use ECF's broad array of planned giving resources. You will receive a printed version of the Program Guide with your order, along with access to the digital version with easy-to-use links to ECF's planned giving resources.
- Funding Future Ministry: A Guide to Planned Giving: ECF's planned giving manual that provides clergy and lay leaders with the most effective ways to encourage planned gifts, all set in a theological framework.
- Samples of ECF's Planned Giving Brochures & Booklets Series: One copy each of #2353 (Planned Giving: Stewards of God's Bounty) and #2354 (Planning for the End of Life: Faithful Stewards of Your Good Gifts). ECF's planned giving brochures present the basics of planned giving, the how and why, as well as the different kinds of gifts that are possible. ECF's planned giving booklets explain in depth how planned gifts work, and provide instructions and application forms to make a life income gift. All of ECF's planned giving brochures and booklets are also available for free download.
- Access to ECF's Online Planned Giving Resources: Links to ECF's online planned giving resources all in one place. Resources include: helpful articles about planned giving, web conference recordings and live web conferences, ECF's Giving Website for potential donors and planned giving leaders, and other planned giving articles, tools, and resources.
