Welcome to Church World Service Planned Giving
 Students at Mjini Primary School in Marang'a District, Kenya, appreciate having access to a source of clean water.
"If I don't stop just talking about helping the poor and actually do something to help the poor, I'm going to be embarrassed to meet God."
- Rev. James Forbes, Riverside Church, New York, NY
Hello, and thank you for visiting our planned giving website. I am delighted that you would consider becoming a partner in our ministry in this way. In doing so, you join the many friends of Church World Service who have chosen to leave a legacy of hope for future generations.
Whether designating Church World Service to receive a bequest or a gift from you IRA, establishing an endowment fund, making a gift to fund one of our life-income plans, or leveraging a gift through the use of life insurance, these friends strengthen our long-term ability to help meet human needs and foster self-reliance among the hungry, uprooted, and powerless people around the world.
Your willingness to consider such a gift demonstrates a particularly strong relationship to Church World Service and I thank you for your interest in and support of our ministry. It means so much to those we serve.
There is a lot to see here, so take your time looking over the site. I encourage you to sign up for our planned giving e-newsletter. Finally, let me know how I can help. I am here to assist you and your advisors with your planning.
Ronald Blaum, Director of Gift and Estate Planning
