Welcome to Lutheran Life Communities
Planned Giving

Thank you for your interest in Lutheran Life Communities. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.


Benefits for Family and Lutheran Life Communities

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.

Generous IRA Gift
Jerry is a fireman who volunteers for a number of charities in his community. Recently, Lutheran Life Communities shared an opportunity to join in a new program with a positive impact. Jerry was excited to help, but a lead gift of $10,000 was needed to start the program. More on Generous IRA Gift >>.


Major IRA Gift
Tom is a retired CPA. With good investments, his IRA had grown to become over 80% of his total estate. Tom was looking for a way to rebalance his estate. He wanted to make a major gift to charity, but needed to protect his home and personal savings. More on Major IRA Gift >>.


Bequests
Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of Lutheran Life Communities. They believe it is important to support and encourage their mission. More on Bequests >>.


Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>.
