Planned Giving: Endowment Funds

Like many supporters, you may want your donation to provide ongoing financial support of the work of the World Bible Society. This can happen through our Endowment Program. Endowment funds help support specific ministry objectives you may elect to supports such as Jewish Scriptures for Jews, Bibles in Russian, etc. The funds are invested and the income used on a ongoing basis to support the designated work.

Since an Endowment Fund is established from a supporter's major gift, the donor receives tax receipts for the gift amount, and the income earned by the World Bible Society is not taxable. This provides you with an opportunity to be part of a well managed stewardship plan. If you kept the funds in your own investment portfolio, the income earned would be taxable. This would leave less funds for you to give to the Society - or you would have to make up the taxable portion from other personal funds.

		Just a thought
	Many individuals would be happy to see their current income and assets being used to help others receive the Treasures of God’s Word during their lifetime.
