Stories of Giving from the Legacy Newsletter
The Rev. Nancy J. and Mr. Robert Doughty - Ministry and
Estate
Planning: Works in Progress - "We talked about the assets we had
left to
give after we'd provided for our family," says Robert. "Nancy
and I both wanted
to support organizations that reflect our values, and
the UUA was definitely one
of those." FULL ARTICLE>>
Chuck Forester - Bequests Bend the World
Toward Justice - When
asked about why he arranged a gift from his
charitable trust for youth and young
adult ministries, Chuck Forester
said that he considers it "a small gift in
comparison to what I
received. What I gained from LRY and Unitarian Universalism
in high
school was invaluable." FULL ARTICLE>>
Ruth O'Shea - Generosity as Justice-Making - "My life has had dramatic ups and downs. Having struggled witha hard job teaching in a ghetto, and having been poor once myself, justice demands that I share what I have with others." This was the answer of a generous Unitarian Universalist, Ruth O'Shea, when asked about the creation of her charitable remainder trust. FULL ARTICLE>>
Jean Gillet - Giving Certainty - "In an uncertain economy, a gift that helps you establish a steady income is certainly something to think about," said Mrs. Jean H. Gillett of Palo Alto, CA, when she set up her Charitable Gift Annuity with the Unitarian Universalist Association last year. FULL ARTICLE>>
Jan and Stu Sendell - Hearts and Homes - "We feel
strongly that the world needs the loving, forward-looking and rational
message
of Unitarian Universalism," said Jan and Stu Sendell of
Morristown, NJ, when
asked why two Unitarian Universalist organizations
are named to receive
financial support from their estates after they
die. FULL ARTICLE>>
