Planned Giving

Gifts from Your Will or Trust


How It Works

  • Include a gift to the Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools (ANCSS), Bryn Athyn College of the New Church (BAC) and the General Church of the New Jerusalem (GC) in your will or trust. (Here is sample bequest language for your will.)
  • Your bequest will support the overall mission of ANCSS, BAC, GC.
  • Indicate that you would like a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate or trust, or indicate a specific amount.
  • Tell us about your gift so we may celebrate your generosity now.

Benefits

  • Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime.
  • You can modify your gift to address changing circumstances.
  • You can direct your gift to a particular purpose (be sure to check with us to make sure your gift can be used as intended).
  • Under current tax law, there is no upper limit on the estate tax deduction for your charitable bequests.
