Leaving your Legacy
A planned gift to the endowment fund will help ensure that the ministries that have meant the most to you in your lifetime will continue into the future. You do not have to be wealthy to give. You may make gifts in memory or in honor of friends and family. With planned giving, you decide what to give and how to give it. Many planned gifts offer certain advantages to both the donor and the church. You may designate your gift to benefit a certain ministry area. List Sub Fund options?
Popular Ways to Give
Appreciated securities
Transfers of stocks or mutual funds may be made directly from your brokerage account to Gateway. To inquire about how to transfer securities, please contact Business Administrator Elsa Salinas at esalinas@gateway.cc.
Beneficiary designations
Donors may make a significant deferred gift to the church by designating Gateway as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan. There are many ways to give through life insurance and retirement plans, some of which may have benefits to donors.
Bequest in your will
Give a fixed amount or item (or property) to the church. Some donors prefer to designate a percentage of their estate or donate the residual amount left in the estate after all other bequests are granted.
Personal property
Personal property such as automobiles, works of art, antiques, coin or stamp collections, jewelry and other items may also be given to the church.
