Planned Giving

• What values do you want to see passed along to the next generation?
   
• Do your children and grandchildren know what values are important to you?
   
• Is there someone you would like to memorialize?
   
• Who has been your primary stewardship mentor?
   
• Do you know what you own and how it is owned?
   
• What individuals would you like to include in your estate plans?
   
• Do you have a charitable dream?
   
• What do you want people to remember about you?

Planned giving at Luther Seminary begins by asking you questions like these. After listening to and fully understanding your answers, we are ready to recommend and discuss gift options. Whether helping you plan a single gift or your entire estate, we begin by asking clarifying questions and listening to your answers. In addition, we work as a team with your other planners, not in place of them.

At Luther Seminary, we understand that your plans may include several other charities; we respect and applaud your support of these other charities. Our hope is that your goals and objectives will include this mission as well. Because Luther Seminary trains leaders to share God’s life-saving message with your children and grandchildren, I hope you will consider supporting this mission.
