Planning
At MMFA, we have a variety of tools to help you set goals, plan, and execute a variety of financial strategies to help you make the most of your resources while donating to the organizations and causes you care about. Whether you have cash, stock, real estate, or any other assets you wish to donate, or you’re looking for ways to shore up your retirement while still being able to donate, we have solutions for you.
It all starts with gaining knowledge, planning, and letting us help put your plan into action.
Types of Gifts
The Moravian Ministries Foundation is here to help you maximize the impact of your charitable giving across all the Moravian ministries, agencies, and congregations you wish to support through Planned Giving.
Planned giving is the process where you create a financial or estate plan in which you give something of value to the church or ministry at a future date, such as at when you enter the Lord’s more immediate presence. Many times, this is a gift that is planned through a will, and can be anything from cash or real estate to stocks, or even art! If you don’t have a will or have questions about planned giving, reach out to us!
Will or Trust
Plan a gift that will be paid once all of you obligations are fulfilled. We can help you make adjustments to an existing will or help you create one.

Donor Advised Fund
A Donor Advised Fund is easy to create. A donor (or someone named by the donor) maintains the privilege to make recommendations from an account they've created with MMFA and takes an income tax charitable donation from funding. This streamlines your giving and planning.
Retirement Planning
You've worked hard and planned for retirement. With a little creativity, you can leverage your retirement assets to benefit you and your family, reduce federal taxes, and support Moravian causes far into the future.
STOCKS & APPRECIATED ASSETS
Take advantage of appreciated securities while avoiding capital gains tax by making a donation of your assets.
Personal Property
Donate personal property that will help us to continue and expand our mission while providing significant tax benefits to you.
Real Estate
Donate real estate in exchange for powerful tax benefits and possibly an income stream for you and/or your loved ones.
Mineral Rights
You can donate mineral rights through your estate or trust and receive a tax deduction.

Gifts That Pay You Income
The plans described here all have one substantial advantage over investment vehicles in that they produce generous gifts through MMFA while you will receive income for life or a set period of time.
Designate & Donate
Think about using assets that can be transferred to MMFA without legal expense. You may have bank investments, retirement, insurance, stock, or mutual-fund accounts that you can use to accomplish your charitable goals. All of these assets can be transferred by completing a P.O.D. (Payable on Death) or T.O.D. (Transfer on Death) form. Some companies also call these beneficiary designation forms. This completed form tells the account custodian what to do with the account after your passing.
You can name MMFA in your long-term plans today without a negative impact on cash flow or lifestyle. Ask your bank for a P.O.D. form. Ask your retirement plan, investment account or insurance company for a T.O.D. form. Designate and donate with any of the following in no time at all!
- Retirement Plans
- Stock & Investment Accounts
- U.S. Savings Bonds
- Life Insurance
- Individual & Joint Bank Accounts
- Gift of Artwork and Other Personal Property
