Giving for the Future
Established in 1996, the BelPres Legacy Foundation is a way for members and friends to invest in a legacy by contributing to professionally managed accounts that provide a meaningful way to meet special mission and capital needs for BelPres and its partners.
Planned giving is not reserved solely for those with great financial wealth or special financial expertise. It is available to anyone with a generous spirit and can be facilitated by working in conjunction with an attorney and/or contacting the BelPres Business Administrator. The BelPres Legacy Foundation is the vehicle by which all charitable bequests donated to BelPres are stewarded. These bequests help fund mission work, benevolences and special projects that are outside of the day–to-day operations of the Church.
Making a bequest to the BelPres Legacy Foundation is an easy step in your estate planning. Your gift could be a set dollar amount, an identified asset or a percent of your estate. All gifts go directly to the BelPres Legacy Foundation and avoid state and federal taxes.
Including BelPres in your estate planning is a wonderful opportunity to ensure your faith and values continue to enrich future generations through the BelPres Legacy Foundation. Invest where your story will live on.
We welcome you to prayerfully consider joining the Foundation and make your own commitment in thanksgiving to God.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matt 6:19-21
BelPres Legacy Foundation “Fund” Model
Each year a percentage of the Endowment Fund is transferred to Capital and Mission Funds to increase their gifting.
