Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Union Theological Seminary and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. While annual gifts represent the skeleton, or scaffolding of a non-profit organization, and while major gifts represent its muscles, planned gifts surely represent its heart.

Charitable deferred gifts — or planned gifts as they are often called — are an intentional act of legacy planning, designed before a person crosses the ultimate threshold of life but gifted after they cross. These visionary written statements represent a giver’s deepest aspirations for the future sustainability of the non-profits they love—like Union.
