Leaving a Legacy through Planned Giving

WHAT IS PLANNED GIVING?

Planned giving makes charitable giving part of your overall financial and estate planning. Donations can be made during your lifetime or after your passing. Giving can include many types of assets. Often cash, stocks, bonds, and property can be given in a way that increases your impact by providing significant tax savings.

Cash makes up only 7% of total wealth — however 85% of charitable gifts given are cash. With over 93% of wealth held in assets other than cash, giving stocks, real estate, artwork and other non-cash assets hold immense potential for charitable impact.

You can make a difference

Make a difference in God’s Kingdom by giving both while you are alive on this earth and upon your promotion to heaven! DOVE International has arranged ways  for planned giving contributions for the work DOVE, sowing into nations around the world. Planned giving with DOVE will help disciple the next generation, carry the gospel to nations, plant churches, and much more.

Jesus taught that we could become rich in spirit by generous giving. In Luke chapter twelve, He explained, “A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” He concluded His teaching on finances by saying, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
