Giving

Have you thought about how you can help the Gospel continue to build God’s Kingdom here on earth after you are gone? (Immanuel Inspired Video) Over the years, Immanuel members were so passionate about our mission and ministry that they continued to support Immanuel even after they had gone to be with their Savior. Legacy planning and giving takes many shapes and sizes. Tax savings, a life income trust, helping Immanuel Lutheran Church and School and helping your family can all be part of your Legacy. In the next decade trillions of dollars are going to change hands due to the death of our saints--some of this will happen without good planning. When good planning has not taken place, resources that could be used wisely are wasted.

Immanuel has contracted with Gift Planning Services LLC in Eau Claire, WI to help our members explore options. GPS has been a valuable partner with our North Wisconsin District and travels all over the State of Wisconsin. They will work with you and your Financial Advisor for your benefit. By doing comprehensive gift planning, you and your family can make the most of what you have and benefit Immanuel Lutheran Church and School. Your resources can last long beyond your lifetime and the lifetime of your children and even your grandchildren.

Immanuel has an Endowment Fund that is used for purposes of extending God’s Kingdom here on earth. As this fund grows, interest and gains are used for various ministries. To name a couple of current uses: support of our school ministry and outreach to our community through "Live Your Faith Live”.

Good Planning can have very positive effects upon those left behind and include tax planning necessary as we grow older and providing for both loved ones and the church without triggering an overwhelming tax liability. Appreciated stocks, IRAs, long-held property all present challenges. Working with a Gift Planner and your Financial Advisor to minimize this and to benefit Immanuel is possible. Consider finding out the fact before you make the decision.
