Planned Gifts

Sister Marianne Brock​
Gift Planner, ELCA Foundation

The Heritage Society recognizes friends who have developed a planned or deferred gift to the Camping Corporation. Through careful gift and estate planning, you can strengthen the ongoing work of LCC, providing resources and support to assure longterm financial stability and the ability to respond to emerging opportunities for generations to come.

Through partnership with the ELCA Foundation, the services of Sister Marianne Brock, Gift Planner of Central Pennsylvania, are available to help you include LCC in your estate plans.

Through the ELCA Gift Planner you can:

• Determine the best means of gifting family, friends and LCC while taking advantage of potentially beneficial tax incentives
• Create a Charitable Gift Annuity, naming LCC as a beneficiary
• Create a revocable Charitable Remainder Trust naming LCC as a beneficiary
• Explore or facilitate gifting life insurance, stock, property, annuity, IRA or another asset to LCC

More information about ways to give through the ELCA Foundation is provided on their webpage: https://www.elca.org/give/elca-foundation/services-for-members
