| The St. Peter's at 50 Endowment was created by a donation by our first Vicar at the time of celebration of St. Peter's 50th anniversary. Earnings of the Endowment are specifically designated for outreach. Like all endowements, the St. Peter's at 50 Endowment is open for all manners of charitable gifts, including cash, gift annuities, life insurance policies, appreciated assets, income trusts, annuity trusts, and more. |
| The Memorial Garden Endowment is a perpetual fund, the income of which supports the maintenance of the Memorial Garden. The Endowment receives a portion of the amount someone donates when a loved one's cremated remains are inured in the garden and also receives donations specifically directed to the Endowment. |
| The St. Peter's by-the-Sea Key Club is a legacy club, a special group of people who have chosen to support the mission and ministry of St. Peter's through a gift that provides a legacy for future generations. To make such a gift to St. Peter's is an act of generosity; a lasting commitment. We thank our Key Club members for their dedication to the life of St. Peter's. Membership in the Key Club is open to those who wish to join the tradition of making a lasting gift; it is voluntary and without further obligation. It is St. Peter's way of recognizing a remarkable commitment to our mission and ministry. Membership is for those who name St. Peter's (or one of its endowments) with a bequest in your will or estate plan or by making a life-income gift. As a bequest, you can name St. Peter's as a direct beneficiary of specific assets, of a portion of your estate, or of your residual estate. This could be in a will or trust, by naming St. Peter's as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, or a financial account, or of a retirement plan, such as an IRA, a ROTH IRA or a 401(k) Life-Income Gifts are of many types. Some of them are "Charitable Gift Annuity", "pooled income fund gift", or "charitable remainder unitrust. There are many types of circumstance which make Life-Income Gifts of special tax-planning interest in the case of appreciated assets such as stock or real estate. If you have not made a will, we urge you to do so, regardless of whether you intend to remember St. Peter's in your plans. It's preferable to see an attorney to make a will; you can see a sample will to see some of the planning that can be satisfied in your will. |
| Resources for Implementing Your Plans |
| In planning how to make gifts or in planning your estate, it's important to consult your attorney, if you have one. If you decide to include St. Peter's in your gift giving or in your will, talk to the rector or to the chairman of the planned giving committee. A valuable resource for you is the Episcopal Church Foundation. They are committed to helping Episcopalians support their parish or any other Episcopal Ministry through planned gifts.
