3 Simple Ways to Give Through Your Will

Your will is more than a legal document. It’s a reflection of your faith and values and an opportunity to determine the next stewards of your God-given resources.

By including gifts to The Christian Reformed Church in North America and your other favorite causes in your will, you model a legacy of hope and generosity. You also ensure your God-given blessings continue to make an impact well beyond your lifetime.

How do you do this? Here are three simple, impactful ways to give through your will.

1.    Direct Gifts: Designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate directly in your will. We can provide you with the legal language to share with your attorney.

2.    Beneficiary Designations: Name The CRCNA as a charitable beneficiary of your retirement accounts, life insurance, or other assets. This approach often reduces the tax burden on your estate, thereby protecting your loved ones and allowing more of your resources to be used for God’s purposes.

3.    Give through Barnabas Foundation: Our trusted ministry partners at Barnabas Foundation can help you streamline the process of giving to one or more ministries through your will. They will manage your gifts with wisdom and care, ensuring they are efficiently distributed to your chosen ministries at the proper time.

What’s the best option for you? It depends on your goals and circumstances. Regardless of the method you choose, your gift will leave a lasting impact, extending your influence beyond your lifetime.
