It is often difficult to look ahead to the time of our passing.

1. What plans have we made?
2. Are our loved ones adequately taken care of?
3. Are there interests or passions that we have and we should really consider?

SAMM would like to challenge you and thank you for looking past the todays of our lives. We thank you for your interest in helping to plan for an ongoing future where your legacy gifts can make a true difference .We are confident that you are already assisting SAM Ministries in many ways. With this additional step we would like to invite you to join us and invest in lives in another way!

The lives we invest in are the only investment that really brings transformation and change to our world and the only investment that outlasts us. Someone once said, “Changing circumstances sometimes changes people, but changed people ALWAYS change circumstances”. This is the kind of change worth investing in.

Choose a Planned Giving Strategy

The following suggestions are only some of the examples of how you can leave a legacy after you have passed. They will help guide you as you consider how to ensure that your assets help others into the future. If you already support SAM Ministries, you can continue in the legacy you have already helped to build over the years through your prayer and generous, faithful support. If you are new to our work, you will have the chance to join our team and be a part of the legacy we are all living and will be leaving in the form of changed lives that will be used by God to change other lives.

1. Leave a gift in your will or estate plan.
2. Leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your assets to SAM Ministries.
3. Consider using assets for your gift such as a gift of real estate or personal property that could be used or sold for changing lives.
4. Name SAM Ministries as the beneficiary of your RRSP, RRIF, pension plan or as the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy.
5. Purchase a new life insurance policy naming SAM ministries as the beneficiary.
6. Remember loved ones with memorial gifts.
7. Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to SAM Ministries in their wills.

 

Prepare Your Will

We strongly encourage everyone to prepare a will. Without a will, your estate (property and finances) are settled according to federal and provincial laws which often may not be according to your wishes. By preparing a will, you ensure that your estate goes to precisely who you wish to see benefited by it. Your will would address any obligations, family needs, spouse or others financial well being. It can also address any planned legacy gift that you may want to make. This way you can plan a gift to SAM Ministries that will only take effect after your obligations have ceased – it addresses your plan and your concerns for others.

You can plan to leave a gift of any size from your estate, and it means a great deal to those who receive the help. This is a serious decision but one you will not regret. You may want some suggestions about how this can be done simply. We would encourage you to think about your decision and pray about what it is you want to leave as a lasting legacy of your life and commitment to missions.

We would be pleased to talk to you further about this – no pressure from us, no commitment on your part. Please click here to contact us.

We would also suggest using the services of a professional (a financial planner, lawyer, accountant or life insurance agent). Any of these can provide advice, help you leave a gift, and can tell you about the tax benefits of doing so.

It is important to know that by using your will as a valuable tool to direct your future legacy, it also maintains your complete control and flexibility to change beneficiaries if your family’s needs change during your lifetime.

If you would like to include, or have already included, a gift to SAM Ministries, please contact us so we can be aware of your desires.

Thank you so very much! Although we cannot take our earthly fortunes with us we can certainly use them to provide a lasting legacy.
