Planned gifts are usually funded from assets accumulated over a person’s lifetime, rather than from disposable annual income like for an annual campaign, or short-term savings like for a capital campaign.  Most planned gifts are deferred, meaning Summit Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (SUUF) will receive the financial benefits after the donor dies.  They include:

  • Naming Summit or the SUUF Endowment Fund (Endowment Fund) as a beneficiary in a will
  • Naming Summit or the Endowment Fund as a beneficiary in a living trust
  • Naming Summit or the Endowment Fund as a beneficiary on life insurance
  • Naming Summit or the Endowment Fund as a beneficiary of a 401(k) or 403(b)
  • Naming Summit or the Endowment Fund as the recipient of a charitable rollover from an IRA
  • Donating appreciated stock to Summit or the Endowment Fund
  • Donating real estate to Summit or the Endowment Fund
  • Designating Summit or the Endowment Fund as a beneficiary of a charitable gift annuity
  • Establishing a charitable remainder trust with Summit or the Endowment Fund as a beneficiary
  • Naming Summit or the Endowment Fund as a contingent beneficiary of any of the above
