Dr. Martin Luther King was once asked, "Dr. King, if you knew you had just one day left to live, what would you do? "I would plant a tree," he replied. MLK knew that within a single seed lies the potential of an entire forest. Leaving a legacy to New Vision Center is like planting a seed that will continue to touch and transform lives for generations to come.
Types of Legacy Gifts:
Restricted gifts are typically allocated to one or more specific missions or ministries, such as a building fund, youth church or the music ministry.
Unrestricted gifts provide the greatest flexibility and can be applied to support any of the Center’s ministries, as needed. They are often used to sustain and expand both new and existing mission-based ministries. NVC’s Leadership Council serve as conscious stewards over the use of all such legacy funds, ensuring they are put to their best and highest use.
Ways to Leave a Legacy:
1. Outright gift of cash, securities (stocks and bonds), real estate, automobiles or other items of value
2. Provisions in your Will or Trust
3. Beneficiary designations on your life insurance policy and retirement account- Charitable Remainder Trust
Remember, gifts of any size, large or small, serve your Spiritual Community in important, enduring ways and they are a blessing to you, the Giver as well.
