The “Enduring Legacy” workshop explores the theme, “How can I align my legacy with my financial plan?” Participants will learn about wills, trusts and probate, explore charitable giving options available during their lifetime and through estate planning, and discover tax-advantaged tools for supporting ministry. The workshop will help participants consider how their financial resources can reflect their spiritual values, provide for loved ones, and create an enduring legacy of generosity.
