Planned Giving

Planned Giving at Shaughnessy Heights United Church is a vital component of stewardship that benefits our church and its members. Planned giving allows and encourages members to be good stewards of their personal resources and promote the longevity and well being of our congregation and church programs. It may also benefit other organizations within the church framework.

Planned Giving involves future gifts from a donor's capital assets or estate. For example, a person can make a planned donation to Shaughnessy Heights United Church through a will. This is called a bequest to the church. Although bequests are the most common planned gift received by the church, there are several other ways to make a gift. A Life Insurance Policy can be purchased and the church designated as the beneficiary upon death. Other options for Planned giving include a Gift Annuity and Listed Securities such as stocks that you may have in your investment portfolio.

Planned Giving benefits both the donor and Shaughnessy Heights United Church. Our ministerial staff and members of our Board of Trustees will gladly provide more information and consultation to arrange a planned gift to the church. All inquiries and gift arrangements will be kept confidential unless otherwise instructed by you.
