A Legacy Fund is a named fund that is part of the One More Child endowment.
You can set up a Legacy Fund in the name of your business, family name or other entity.
Contribute to your fund periodically, and watch it grow over time. You can know that your fund will be generating much-needed support for our care of vulnerable children and struggling families.
Planning your estate can be a wonderful process of reflecting on God’s blessings in your life, your family, the possessions God has allowed you to manage and your faith. To assist you in this process, we have provided some “layman friendly” estate-planning information, which will enable you to protect your family as well as steward the assets God has entrusted you to use for His glory.
Make a Legacy Fund donation to honor someone special.
Gifts to your Legacy Fund are a great way to honor someone special or to mark the memory of a special occasion. For example, you can make a gift to honor the memory of a loved one who has passed away or honor a special occasion such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday or holiday.
A Legacy Fund remains over time.
A Legacy Fund is permanently fixed to the One More Child endowment fund, which means that your Legacy Fund also continues into perpetuity.
Involve your children and other family members so that you can make a difference.
How does the One More Child endowment work?
The One More Child endowment funds are invested conservatively and allocated diversely among a variety of investment vehicles designed to preserve capital and at the same time generate earnings for the One More Child ministry.
Funds are appropriated from the endowment and its earnings on an annual basis to provide for the needs of abused, neglected and orphaned children.
The appropriation is based upon a fixed percent as approved by the Board of Trustees’ Investment Policy, which is designed to preserve the endowment in perpetuity.
What amount is needed to start a Legacy Fund?
You can start a Legacy Fund with a minimum commitment of $10,000. If you are like many individuals this may sound like a daunting amount.
However, the commitment may be spread out over a three year period. For example, a $10,000 endowment can be fully funded with a monthly gift of $277 over a three year period.
