Planned Gifts
A planned gift is a contribution established during a donor's lifetime, but may not be received until the donor's death.  This type of gift, which may be made through a will, bequest, life insurance policy, trust or annuity, enables the donor to leave a legacy of care for the older adults and hospice patients served by the various ministries of Lutheran Homes of South Carolina.  Click here to learn more about making a planned gift.
