The Diocese of West Missouri’s Stewardship Commission is inviting you to a planned giving seminar. Please join James W. Murphy, CFRE from the Episcopal Church Foundation, to review best practices on how to empower parish leaders to take the best, next steps for your congregation!
Setting up a Planned Giving Program for your Parish
Take the mystery out of planned giving for your parish. Learn in easy to understand terms how planned giving differs from annual stewardship and capital campaigns. Your parish will learn how to build endowments and other funds through wills and life income and various other gifts. After a review of the planned giving instruments, you will learn about the importance of a parish vision, building trust among parishioners, and how to invite others to remember your parish through estate gifts and financial planning, taking into account the many recent tax law changes.
