Planning Giving

Empower Your Faith

Planned giving offers strategic ways for donors to support their church or favorite ministries long-term, ensuring their legacy aligns with faith-based missions while potentially providing tax benefits and financial security during their lifetime.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving from a stewarding perspective is the deliberate and prayerful orchestration of one's assets to extend God's provision beyond a lifetime, transforming personal legacies into enduring support for Kingdom ministries while honoring biblical mandates of generosity and wisdom. At the Georgia Baptist Foundation, we approach planned giving as a divine partnership—empowering donors to structure gifts that secure family futures, optimize tax efficiencies, and fuel faith-driven causes with perpetual impact. By collaborating with us, your estate becomes a testament to faithful stewardship, weaving prudence, legacy, and eternal purpose as inspired by Scripture.
