 Become an SBL Legacy Maker!

Planned giving offers our members a means of accomplishing their charitable objectives that is both consistent with their personal values and takes into account their overall financial and estate plans. Your trust, estate, or other planned gift strategy can turn your assets into an enduring legacy of support for the Society of Biblical Literature and in many cases offer you significant tax advantages.

 

PLANNED GIVING OPTIONS
 
Bequest
A charitable bequest is a gift made through a written statement in a will or trust. Bequests can be made for a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or from a specific estate asset that you wish to bequeath to the Society.
 

Life Insurance
The gift of a life insurance policy is a contribution made by naming an entity of your choice as the beneficiary of your policy or transferring the ownership of your policy. 

 

Retirement Plan
The gift of a retirement plan is made by naming an entity as beneficiary of a retirement asset in your overall estate plan. Beneficiaries can be designated for the total or a portion of your retirement assets.
