GIFT PLANNING

Planned Giving

MEA Worldwide offers you many choices that combine solid financial planning with compassionate giving.

Consider the following options as you begin to plan wisely and generously for the future.

Gifts by Wills and Bequests ease probate fees and taxes that must be paid by your estate.
Transferring Securities (stocks and mutual funds) directly to MEA Worldwide allows you to make a larger gift while eliminating capital gains tax.
Through a Life Insurance donation, you receive tax benefits now while making a larger gift than you may have ever thought possible.
Benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity are: guaranteed income for life; an immediate gift to support MEA Worldwide’s work; a tax receipt for the gift portion of the annuity; and partially tax-free income. MEA Worldwide uses Link Charity, a Canadian non-profit organization that specializes in Gift Annuities for Charities.
Name MEA Worldwide as beneficiary of Retirement Funds such as RRSPs or RRIFs and your estate will receive a tax receipt to ease the tax burden on your heirs.
Become a MEA Worldwide Partner with a significant donation of real estate or other personal Property and receive a tax receipt to offset any capital gains.
Create an Endowment with a substantial gift from your estate and ensure your legacy will last for generations. Endowment funds may be pooled and personal endowments may require a minimum contribution.
Keep the memory of loved ones alive with a Memorial donation

Give yourself peace of mind, and ease the burden on loved ones. Continue helping MEA Worldwide provide missionaries with the resources to show practical Christ-like love to children, families and entire communities with things like food, clean water, education, health care and hope for generations to come.
