Planned giving is a way to leave a lasting legacy to what matters most in our lives: family, friends and institutions that share our core values.

Planned gifts include gifts created through your will, living trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy. These planned gifts often require intentional forethought and, sometimes, help from a professional adviser. A planned gift can sometimes be the largest single gift donors will ever make.

You can leave a lasting legacy by including Second Unitarian in your estate plan. Your planned gift may be directed to Second Unitarian in general, or you may direct it specifically toward Second Unitarian Church of Omaha Endowment Fund.

Endowment Fund

Our endowment fund helps ensure the future of Second Unitarian Church by enhancing our mission and promoting Unitarian Universalist values in the community. The endowment fund is separate from the operating funds of the Church. Bylaws of the Church specify the criteria necessary for making withdrawals from the fund. Once certain criteria are met and upon approval by the board of trustees and a majority vote of the congregation, endowment funds may be utilized for the qualifying purposes set forth in the bylaws.

For more information regarding the criteria to utilize endowment funds, please see Endowment Fund Q&A.
