Planned Giving, through Friends Fiduciary Corporation (FFC), provides an opportunity for your organization to increase long-term financial stability. Our coordinated planned giving program provides many benefits to participating organizations whether you have a sophisticated development program in place, or are just beginning to seek deferred gifts. Working with FFC will give you obvious economies of scale and free you from the burden of complex administration and state requirements.

Planned Giving offers opportunity for generous donors to make gifts, distinct from their annual contributions, in support of the work of a Meeting or other Friends organization. Several planned giving vehicles can also preserve an income stream during the lifetime of the donor, or other designated income beneficiary. The principal remaining at the death of the income beneficiary transfers to the selected Meeting and/or Quaker organization at that time.

Friends Fiduciary Corporation can provide illustrations, calculations and information on Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Remainder Trust to the development staff of Quaker nonprofits  as they cultivate donors.  When a donor is ready to make a gift and establish an annuity or trust, FFC provides the Investment management, administration and payments.  A donor can also work directly with FFC if they wish to get up an annuity or trust to benefit more than one Meeting or Quaker organization or begin a donor advised fund.

The goal of the FFC Planned Giving program is assist Meetings and organizations as they increase their long-term financial stability. Planned/deferred gifts and bequests to Meetings and Friends organizations are vital to the future of the Religious Society of Friends. FFC’s Planned Giving services are offered to all Quaker non profits, please call for additional information.
