Planned Giving
Creating a Legacy Through Planned Giving
Planning a legacy begins with a time of reflection of the blessings and favor God has given you. During your time of reflection and prayer ask God "What is His purpose for His blessings and what legacy has He planned through you?"
Appropriate estate planning is beneficial to almost everyone. Whether we are nearing the end of our lives, contemplating retirement, or younger with a growing family, estate planning boils down to determining how, when, and to whom we will transfer the stewardship of what God has entrusted to us when we can no longer serve as stewards ourselves.
Some individuals fail to do estate planning because of a lack of understanding of God's Directives for Stewardship.
Throughout Scripture, you will find references that speak clearly about what we are to do with the resources God provides us. It is very important to understand God's Word on stewardship.
"Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase;"- Proverbs 3:9
"But do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."- Hebrews 13:16
You can support the Mission of Milka Clarke Stroke Brain Trauma Foundation with your Planned Giving through the use of trusts, insurance and other planning tools. You can provide for your heirs and still leave a never-ending gift that will benefit the future of thousands of retired missionaries and ministers, workers or their widows.
God's word encourages us to fix our eyes on the things that endure. An inheritance is temporary and fades as it is spent. A legacy is something tangible you place in others that lives long after you die. Create your legacy by connecting with the mission of Milka Clarke Stroke Brain Trauma Foundation, to give stroke brain trauma survivors a fighting chance at a normal life, bringing messages of hope to our marginalized and under served communities in Jamaica with financial support that permanently transform their lives for the better.
Your legacy gift supports the Milka Clarke Stroke Brain Trauma Foundation and our Ministry to needy stroke brain trauma survivors and their caregivers.
Planned Giving creates opportunities for both donors and Milka Clarke Stroke Brain Trauma Foundation. Determining what gift is right for you is just as important as making the gift. There are several options from which you can choose. The correct plan for you balances what you wish to accomplish for yourself, your family, and your charitable interests in your overall estate and financial plans.
For additional information or assistance with planned giving options, please contact Milka Clarke Stroke Brain Trauma Foundation.

While all of the reasons for procrastinating are understandable, none lessens the reality that the absence of an estate plan can have a devastating impact on an estate and the remaining family members.
