Gift Planning means finding a way to make an important gift to a cause you believe in while still getting the best tax benefits possible and achieving personal financial goals.

A planned gift to St. John the Divine can be made outright to the Parish for its immediate use, or deferred – arranged now for completion later. Some planned gifts are designed both to support the work of God through the Parish and to provide a life income for the donor. Each type of planned gift offers benefits to the donor, and supports the mission of the the parish and the wider Anglican Church.

	More and more Anglicans are giving thoughtful attention now to their stewardship of accumulated assets, ensuring that they have valid wills and have planned responsibly for the  security and well-being of their families and the support of those institutions and causes which have been important to them.
