There are several attorneys with which the church has been in contact. They will help you prepare your will, update your will, or add a codicil to your will. Those who put Alps Road Presbyterian Church in their will are eligible for a $200 rebate from the church (from money raised outside the budget for support of our Planned Giving program). After you have placed Alps Road in your will, have your attorney notify the church (not to mention the amount, but only that you have put Alps Road in your will) and we will process your rebate. Thank you for considering making a gift that will: build the kingdom of God; set an example of stewardship to others; and continue your giving beyond your lifetime.

Planned Giving at Alps Road Presbyterian Church is an eternal legacy of faithful stewardship

What is planned giving?

Planned giving encompasses a variety of ways that gifts can be made to the church from accumulated resources. In general, planned gifts are made through:

· A Bequest in a Will

· A Life Income Gift such as a pooled income fund, a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust

· Gifts of Special Assets (real estate, closely held stock, life insurance, retirement accounts)

Planned giving establishes a way for a donor to provide for family members while remembering the church as well. It often enables the donor to provide more for his or her heirs and to make a larger gift than thought possible.

It often reduces taxes as well.
