If you have been a recipient of our Connections newsletter, a supporter of IPM projects, or just care deeply about our mission, we hope you will consider continuing your support of IPM after you are gone. Planned gifts allow individuals to continue supporting the mission of IPM through gifts such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, gifts of life insurance, and other arrangements that will benefit IPM at a later date. With a planned gift, many people find that they are able to contribute more than they thought possible, while still providing for their families.

A bequest in your will naming IPM as a beneficiary is an easy way to support our projects around the world. Your attorney can suggest language to insert into your will to ensure that your gift will be directed to IPM. Please contact IPM directly for any additional information you may need.

Our partnership with The Cleveland Foundation, the nation’s oldest and second largest community foundation, makes it possible for donors to establish a charitable gift annuity that will benefit IPM. A charitable gift annuity is an instrument that assures lifetime income to the donor and benefits IPM at the end of the donor’s life. Please contact IPM for more information on this and other lifetime income arrangements.

Life insurance policies enable virtually everyone to make a lasting legacy with IPM. You may choose to give a paid-up policy, buy a new policy or buy insurance to replace a charitable bequest. Be sure to speak with your financial advisor, attorney, or insurance professional if you wish to consider a gift of this nature.

The 1974 Society

Planned gifts are a wonderful way to provide much-needed resources to IPM and many planned gift arrangements can help ease estate tax burdens. IPM is profoundly thankful for gifts of this kind and we wish to express our gratitude to planned gift donors immediately. Therefore, individuals who let us know that they have listed IPM in their estate plans are automatically enrolled in our new 1974 Society, named for the year of the founding of Partners in Mission, our predecessor organization.

When you indicate that you have included IPM in your will or have made another arrangement that will benefit IPM at a later date, you will receive:
• A certificate from IPM formalizing your participation in the 1974 Society
• Recognition in our annual report, “Changing Lives Around the World”
• An autographed copy of “How Small is Small?” by IPM co-founder, Rev. Paul H. Strege
• Copies of the “Sing Joy” and “Sing More Joy” cassettes of holiday music by Peter Mayer
• Knowledge that you have helped to ensure the long term vitality of IPM, an organization that truly changes lives around the world.
