What is planned
giving?
Wondering what this "planned giving" is all about? Take a fresh look at
the communities that surround you. Chances are you can point to a
library or two that have been around for years, captivating readers and
researchers of all ages. Most likely you can locate a hospital or health
care facility that has provided care for area families.
You'll find places of worship, parks and land trusts that feed the soul.
There's probably even a nearby college or university, where today's
students carry on tradition while creating innovation. There are social
service agencies that serve our vulnerable neighbors. And there are
performing arts centers, theaters and museums that provide cultural
enrichment and nurture the creative spirit.
Planned gifts have made an impact in all these places!
Throughout history many thoughtful individuals have had the foresight to
create bequests in their wills or other planned gifts to support
organizations and programs that enrich all of our lives. These legacies
form the threads that shape the fabric that is Iowa - and help
strengthen our communities for years to come.
