    Planned Giving

    Planned giving offers numerous ways to make significant charitable gifts that integrate with one’s financial and estate planning goals. Some planned gifts are completed during one's lifetime, and others are created as deferred gifts that take effect after a donor passes away. 

    Benefit from potential tax savings with a Gift of Stock or Charitable IRA Rollover. For more information, please contact Wayne Jones or Cindy Santos, or reach us at 1-800-967-2200 or email plannedgiving@intouch.org.
