Providing for a Loved One’s Future

Ultimate Gifts That Pay Income

Many supporters further the ministry of Grace Christian University through gifts that pay income. Through a lifetime income gift, you provide meaningful support to Grace and secure steady lifetime payments for you or your loved one’s future.

But what if you want to provide for a loved one beyond your own lifetime?

Including a life income gift in your estate plan is a generous and creative way to bless your children, grandchildren, or other individuals with special needs.

Faithful Giving With Eternal Impact

For example, John wanted to provide additional retirement funds to one of his faithful, long-term employees, Sharon. He included a gift in his will that offers Sharon steady payments until the time of her passing, when the remainder will go toward ministry.

Another couple was concerned their children would receive a single large lump sum when they go to be with the Lord. Instead, they set up lifetime income gifts that will provide each of their children 20 years of steady income, after which their favorite ministries will be blessed.
