There are many considerations to take into account when contemplating a planned gift. For instance, it is important to think about the timing of the donation; planned gifts whose benefits are realized in the present are sometimes known as Current Gifts, and those whose benefits are realized in the future are often called Deferred Gifts. You must also consider the gift instrument, as well as the resulting benefits to the recipient and to you, to donor.

In the following pages you will find information that will provide you with a clearer understanding of the investment options that are available to you.
