Other ways to Give - Planned Giving
Endowment Fund
Income from the Endowment Fund is used for building maintenance every year; the fund itself is the church’s emergency reserve. Gifts, bequests and a longstanding policy of reinvesting at least one-half the earnings on the fund keep this essential source healthy and current.
A gift to the endowment helps guarantee the church’s financial future. There are many ways to structure planned gifts to secure tax advantages for you while benefiting our church.
Wills and Bequests
Call the church office at 203-637-1791 for sample wording and consult your lawyer to revise your will or add a simple codicil.
Donor Advised Fund
This is a charitable investment account that allows people to contribute money to support charities while receiving tax benefits. These funds are becoming quite popular.
Special Gifts
There are many special projects, like air conditioning the Meetinghouse or installing the Liftovator. Our church is blessed to have members who have stepped forward in the past to finance special projects or provide “angel” support to ongoing programs. The church maintains a wish list for just such situations. Spread your wings!
