Planned Giving and Estate Planning

For the Christian, estate planning may be the most important act of stewardship he or she will ever undertake. Sadly, the traditional planning approach has been to find ways to pay taxes at the time of death often making the IRS the largest, single beneficiary. It is our desire is to be a blessing to our donors by minimizing taxes, providing for families and retirement, and increasing charitable gifts. In short, we want to help you leave a legacy.

More than 70% of Americans do not have a current will. Why? Perhaps it has to do with the complexity of the process, the cost of documents, or the confusion of goals and objectives.

The WCA has partnered with PhilanthroCorp (a prominent estate planning firm that serves nonprofit organizations nationwide), to help serve our donors. We have provided these interactive web pages to assist you in this important endeavor. You will find a wealth of information and assistance to develop an estate plan that reflects your values and goals, and also tax efficient current giving strategies.

If you would like to pursue planned giving options that would benefit the work of the WCA, our partnership with PhilanthroCorp also provides you with a professional who can provide personal assistance, including referrals to Christian attorneys that offer discounted rates to draft all documents. Many people follow a simple two step process to utilize this service.
