Planned Giving
A planned gift to St. Paul’s offers a powerful opportunity to make a lasting impact while potentially receiving tax benefits.*
If you're considering making a significant donation, exploring planned giving options can be a rewarding way to achieve your charitable goals.
God gives us the gift of life and charges us to take care of all of creation. We do this faithful work through the stewardship of our resources – giving is in our DNA. Jesus was both the gift (the one who came to save the world) and giver (the giver of life eternal). As Jesus’ disciples, we are called to do this same – serving as both the gift and the giver.
*Please consult with a tax professional/attorney for legal advice.

A will or trust is a personal document that ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimizing potential legal disputes and financial burdens on your loved ones. You can also use your will or trust to make charitable donations.
Along with providing for your beneficiaries, you can leave a particular asset, a specific amount of money, a percentage of - or the remainder of - your estate to a charitable organization like St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Indianapolis.
To help you get started with planning your legacy, St. Paul’s has partnered with FreeWill - an online tool that guides you through the process of creating a legally valid will or trust.

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets, and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately.
Designating St. Paul’s as a beneficiary of your life insurance, IRA or retirement plan can be a meaningful way to support a cause you care about.
Click here to use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
