How Can I Donate? > Planned Giving

Apart from the ballot box, philanthropy presents the one opportunity the individual has to express his meaningful choice over the direction in which our society will progress.
-- George G. Kirstein

It is part of human nature to want to leave a legacy of caring for those persons and those organizations we hold dear.  This legacy can begin during life or after death through a variety of financial vehicles intended to maximize gifts and minimize tax consequences for the donor.

Back Bay Mission has assembled a team of experts to work with the Mission regarding planned giving and estate planning.  They are Dr. Edward Collins, former international educational consultant with Ketchum, Inc.; Dave Comstock, financial planner; Henry Dick, attorney, specializing in estate planning; C.J. Dunaway, estate department of Peoples Bank; Dean Fletcher, CPA.

The Mission also works with the Financial Development Ministry of the United Church of Christ for investment management and advise purposes.

However, any person considering making a large gift to an institution should consult their own team of professionals - attorney, accountant, financial planner, and banker.

Back Bay Mission holds an array of helpful brochures to assist persons contemplating a planned gift as part of their estate planning.
