Legacy Giving

What is legacy giving?

When it comes to donations, by default people tend to think in terms of an immediate gift out of one’s bank account, whether it be one-time or recurring. Legacy Giving comes with a few distinctives: 

Legacy Gifts are often not sourced from a bank account.

  • Potential sources for Legacy Gifts include IRAs, insurance policies, wills, real estate and more.

Legacy Gifts can be present and immediate in nature, but they often are a roadmap for future giving

  • Retirement accounts are all about storing up for the future, and a portion thereof could be earmarked for a charitable cause, such as one’s church or an organization like The Antioch Partners

  • Have you ever considered designating a charitable entity as a beneficiary on your will? It could be The Antioch Partners, or another organization you support.

Legacy Gifts can offer significant tax advantages

  • Did you know that the process of preparing a will can yield tremendous tax advantages?

  • Just as standard donations come with tax advantages, so do gifts from an IRA or insurance policy

Legacy Gifts yield benefits that span eternity

  • Beneficiary designations in a will transcend your lifespan and bless future generations. When those designations further the work of Christ’s kingdom, they not only transcend a lifespan, they stretch into eternity!
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy and thieves do not break in or steal. ”
— Jesus (Matthew 6:19-20)

Ready to plan a Legacy gift?

When you designate a charitable organization as a beneficiary on a will, retirement account, or another non-cash asset, it is important to include the legal name, federal tax ID [EIN], and address. If you wish to designate The Antioch Partners you would include:

Legal Name: The A Partners

Address: 11612 Memorial Dr – Houston, TX 77024

EIN: 26-2888198
