SUMMARY:Planned Giving Event
DESCRIPTION:LINK to FLYER\nLINK to REGISTER\nSeptember 9\, 2025\nfrom 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM\n(Lunch Included)\nGrace Presbytery Office\n6100 Colwell Blvd.\, Ste. 100\, Irving\, TX 75039\nJoin Karl Mattison and Josh Kerr from the Presbyterian Foundation for a presentation and conversation on Planned Giving. They’ll share the numbers and trends and explore: \n\nThe Great Wealth Transfer: What is it? How big is it? How has the Presbyterian church fared?\nThe Challenge for my Church: Feeling squeezed out\, but actually having a competitive advantage.\nA Simple Plan: It’s easier than you think. Walk out the door with a simple plan and the tools to implement it.  You will have the resources to build your own plan\, a planned giving page\, brochure\, and communications plan after this presentation.\n\nHere are some reasons why planned giving is critical to your ministry: \n\nPlanned gifts are the largest gift of a lifetime.\nGivers are younger than we expect.\nMore PCUSA churches are receiving them in recent years and in substantially increasing values.\nIn the wealth transfer\, it will increase by multiples.\nPlanned giving increases annual giving.\nIt is relatively untapped.
