An Irrevocable Gift Agreement allows you to create an endowed fund that supports ministry year after year.
Your contribution is invested, and a portion of the earnings is distributed annually to the churches, ministries, or causes you choose, while the principal is preserved for long-term impact.
This kind of gift can be created during your lifetime or through your estate and often results in more being distributed over time than the original amount you gave.
By endowing your gift through the Georgia Baptist Foundation, you can provide reliable, ongoing funding that reflects your commitment to Gospel work far into the future.
Benefits of a Irrevocable Gift Agreement
- Provides long-term, potentially perpetual support for specific ministries.
- Offers an immediate charitable deduction when established during life.
- Demonstrates a lasting testimony of faith and generosity to future generations.
How It Works
Decide which ministries you want to support and whether your endowed gift will be created now or through your estate.
Work with the Georgia Baptist Foundation to establish an IGA and set guidelines for how distributions should be used.
Fund the agreement and allow the investment and distribution process to provide ongoing support for your chosen ministries.
A smarter way to give
Planned gifts are designed to help you give more effectively by aligning your generosity with your overall financial and estate planning.
Rather than giving only from cash flow, you can use assets, retirement accounts, and long-term strategies to reduce taxes, provide income, and increase what ultimately supports ministry.
Our team can help you compare options so that you choose the approach that best fits your situation, your family, and your Kingdom goals.
