Welcome to Georgia Baptist Foundation Planned Giving

Thank you for your interest in the Georgia Baptist Foundation, Inc. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends at the Foundation who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.


Benefits For Family and Baptist Causes

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.



Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Some people look into a can of worms and see fish bait. Trudy Creamer and her husband saw dollar signs. And that long-term relationship with red wigglers not only supported the couple through their joint career as a fisherman's best friend, but is now carrying Trudy through her retirement years.

Current Gifts
As is the case with many families, there are times each year when Jim and Sharon focus their attention on gift giving. For years, they have created a gift list that includes family members, friends and loved ones. More on Current Gifts >>.


Deferred Gift Annuity
Several years ago Larry and Allison invested $30,000 in what they believed to be an attractive stock. It turned out to be a very wise decision, because the value of the stock increased to $100,000 a few years later. More on Deferred Gift Annuity >>.


Bequests
Bill Simpson had many loves of his life: his church, its prayer ministry, and his career in higher education. But the love for which he will be remembered most is his love of missions. That's why, at his death in 1992, his family chose to establish the Bill Simpson Memorial Mission Fund with the Georgia Baptist Foundation. More on Bequests >>.
