3 Ways to Support Ministries Beyond Your Lifetime
Your estate plan is more than a legal document—it’s a reflection of your faith and values. By including gifts to ministries that have impacted your life, you create a legacy of hope and generosity. You also ensure your God-given blessings continue to make an eternal difference for His Kingdom.
But how do you give from your estate? Here are three impactful options to consider.
- Direct Gifts in Your Will
Designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to a ministry directly in your will. This is a simple and powerful way to fund life-changing projects, sustain vital outreach, or ignite new opportunities for ministry growth.
- Beneficiary Designations
Name one or more charities as beneficiaries of your retirement accounts, life insurance, or other assets. This approach often reduces the tax burden in your estate, thereby protecting your loved ones and allowing more of your resources to be used for God’s purposes.
- Give through Barnabas Foundation
Barnabas Foundation can help you simplify and streamline the process of giving to one or more ministries. Simply name Barnabas Foundation as the charitable beneficiary, and then let us know exactly how you would like the funds distributed at the proper time. Our experienced team will manage your gift with wisdom and care, ensuring it reaches your chosen ministries. To learn more about giving through your will using Barnabas Foundation and to request the proper forms to give in this way, call 888.448.3040 or email info@BarnabasFoundation.org.
Regardless of the method you choose, your gifts will leave a lasting imprint, extending your influence beyond your lifetime.
