Benefits For Family and Lutheran Social Services

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.



Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.


Sale and Unitrust
Gene and Carol purchased stock in a small medical service company several years ago. The company has done well. A larger company is now discussing the possibility of buying the smaller company. Gene and Carol are looking for a way to save taxes. More on Sale and Unitrust >>.


The Retirement Unitrust
Mary grew up on a farm. When her parents passed away, she inherited the farm. When Mary was growing up, the farm was out in the country. The city now has grown until the farm is now within the city limits. Several developers would like to build homes on the farmland. More on The Retirement Unitrust >>.
