Planned Giving
Planned Giving enables parishioners to make endowment gifts that advance our mission to spread God’s love and make a lasting impact in our community.
Every bequest, whether a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your assets, or the residual estate, represents a powerful testament of faith and gratitude, leaving an indelible mark on the journey of our parish.
To remember Saint Michael in your estate plans, you may designate All Angels Foundation through vehicles such as wills, trusts, annuities, life insurance policies, donor-advised funds, or beneficiary designations on 401(k) and other retirement accounts.
The All Angels Society honors individuals who have made a documented planned gift to All Angels Foundation. Members of this special group share a common bond to help sustain and enhance our ministries and programs, ensuring the church’s mission continues to thrive for future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
To remember Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in my will, do I designate the church or All Angels Foundation?
You may designate All Angels Foundation. All Angels Foundation stewards Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church’s planned giving program through the governance of a Board of Trustees elected by the Church. All gifts are independently managed and invested by the Foundation.
If I want to add a bequest to the church, do I need to completely re-do my will?
Although revisiting your will on a regular basis is always a good idea, it is possible to make a bequest without completely re-doing your will. This can be accomplished by a stand-alone amendment to your will called a codicil.
Can you suggest a sample codicil?
The same codicil may not work for every person. All Angels Foundation would be happy to assist you in this process.
Can I specify how a gift from my estate is to be used by the church, if, for example, I have a particular interest in music, or outreach, or education?
Certainly. All Angels Foundation currently manages a number of funds designated to assist specific programs.
Does All Angels Foundation spend only the interest earned by its funds, or does it invade the corpus when necessary?
Unless a donor specifies otherwise, The Foundation distributes only income earned on its funds. It maintains the corpus as a continuing legacy.
If I have already remembered the church in my will, why do I need to join the All Angels Society?
All Angels Foundation has established the All Angels Society to acknowledge and thank the donors who have included the Church in their wills. And we hope we might use your generous example to encourage others to follow suit.
