Planned Giving

There are many ways we can leave a legacy-through our professional contributions, our volunteer work, our children, our lifetime gifts and through planned gifts, such as a bequest or a gift in trust.

Why consider Planned Giving?
Having a long-term impact on the work of our beloved church can happen in a variety of ways-through hard work, demonstrated passion, and generosity of spirit. Leaving a legacy to our beloved church through planned giving is yet another opportunity to support Asylum Hill Congregational Church and its ability to do exceptional work in the congregation, the community, the region, and the world.


From the beginning, it has been the generosity of our members through their bequests and other planned gifts that built AHCC's endowment and has made it possible for the church to support the sick and needy in Greater Hartford, maintain our beautiful buildings, enhance worship, deepen the quality and impact of our programs, extend our mission beyond Hartford, and, finally, assure that our presence and message will be secure for many generations to come.

 

What are the rewards from leaving a legacy?

Legacy gifts are provided by visionary individuals who engage in thoughtful decision-making that includes Asylum Hill Congregational Church in their estate planning. They see this as a way to strengthen the church in a long-term way and make a difference in the community. They become members of the Legacy Fellowship.

Members who have contributed to the church through planned giving find that it deepens their personal connections to AHCC and affirms that sharing of our material blessings extends the life of the church for years to come.
