Planned Giving
You do not need to be wealthy in order to make a meaningful planned gift. Most people have the immediate capacity to create a legacy gift.
Many deferred giving options allow you to purposefully support the future needs and vitality of the Portland Friends Meeting with little or no impact on your current income. Some planned gifts can even provide additional income.
