The Life Legacy Society is our way of recognizing dedicated donors who help LFL share the life message.

There are several gift-giving opportunities that allow you to make a lasting impact on LFL.

Through your will or living trust, IRA or life insurance, charitable remainder unitrust, or gift annuity, you are supporting the Lord’s work and Life.

And you are helping us accomplish our mission.

Members of the Life Legacy Society have a passion For Life.

Thank you for caring about future generations.

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Luke 12:34).

“I want my giving to continue beyond my lifetime so future generations will be blessed ... Giving beyond my lifetime is a win-win for me and Lutherans For Life. Even after I’ve gone on to be with the Lord, my gift will continue to support the work of Lutherans For Life.”

Love does not die with deathBut breathes with an eternal breath

Creation is God’s engendering of love, Jesus its epiphany from the Father above.

The Father is revealed in His sonFor bonded in love the two are as one.

Proclaiming Life with Future Generations

For Future Generations

What is the Life Legacy Society?The Life Legacy Society is a group of dedicated Christians who have been led by the Lord to provide financial support for Lutherans For Life beyond their lifetimes.

Options for Giving Your Will or Living TrustPlanning and writing your will or living trust is a personal privilege and Christian responsibility. Not only does it assume that your estate is handled as you wish, it also provides funding for Lutherans For Life to share the life-affirming message with future generations.

Bequest language: “I give and bequeath _____% of my estate (or the sum of $_____ ) to Lutherans For Life, 1101 5th Street, Nevada, Iowa, 50201, 515-382-2077, (EIN 41-1374293), to be used at the discretion of its Board of Directors in accordance with its mission.”

Church Extension (or other) Savings AccountLeaving what remains in your church extension fund (or a % thereof) after you are

called home to Heaven is one of the easiest ways to designate an estate gift to LFL. There are usually two steps: First, call the holder of your fund (example; your national or district church extension fund) and ask for a change of beneficiary form; Second, change the beneficiary to LFL (or a % thereof with the remaining % left to family, etc.). Proceeds to LFL should be so designated; “Lutherans For Life, 1101 5th Street, Nevada, Iowa, 50201, 515-382-2077, (EIN 41-1374293), to be used at the discretion of its Board of Directors in accordance with its mission.”

IRA, 401, (or other) Retirement Fund GiftCompared to other types of gifts, a beneficiary change on your individual retirement account (IRA) can be among the most tax advantageous to you and your family. By changing a beneficiary on an IRA to LFL, you can avoid any tax liability to your family and you can make a significant gift to support the Lord’s work.

Life Insurance GiftYou can use a life insurance policy you already own or create a new one to fund God’s work through LFL. You can name LFL as a beneficiary on a new or existing policy, or you can change ownership of the policy to LFL and receive a charitable deduction equal to the cash value.

Charitable Gift AnnuityThis gift offers regular, fixed payments for your lifetime and the life of another if you choose. The rate, payment amount, and charitable deduction are based upon the age of the recipient(s) named at the time the gift annuity is established.

Charitable TrustIf you currently own appreciated stocks,

bonds, or farm or rental property that you would like to sell, you can transfer these assets into a trust. You and your named income recipients will receive an attractive income payment for a specified period of time. Upon termination of the trust (due to the death of the named recipient or expiration of the timeframe agreed upon), the principal goes to Lutherans For Life. A charitable trust is irrevocable and offers considerable tax savings.

LFL Endowment FundYour gift may be directed to the Lutherans For Life Endowment Fund. There are several categories in the endowment fund where your gift may be used to support the mission of LFL.

Share the Life MessageYou can help share the life message of Jesus Christ and help Lutherans for Life accomplish its mission and vision for the future by becoming a supporter of the Life Legacy Society.

LFL’s development department will be happy to explain these and other estate planning options more in depth.

Just call 888.364.LIFE and ask for the development department or visit www.lutheransforlife.org today.
