Legacy Giving

Legacy Giving

The Legacy Society recognizes Lanier Christian Academy’s parents, grandparents, trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends who are committed to giving to the school.  By joining the Legacy Society you help us carry on the Legacy of Lanier Christian Academy.  Future generations of LCA students will excel because of the careful planning and thoughtful support of you and other Legacy Society members.

The Legacy Society provides us a way to honor all who choose to support the work taking place at Lanier Christian Academy.  Within the Legacy Society are established levels of giving and we invite you to participate in the way that best suits your family.

Any gift places you in the Legacy Society for Lanier Christian Academy and all we ask is that you give as God leads you to give.  Your combined yearly gifts will place you in the Legacy Society as follows:

Chairman’s Society A gift of $25,000 or more
President’s Society A gift of $10,000 or more
Ambassador’s Society A gift of $5,000 or more

Credit Cards

We currently accept credit gifts.  Simply visit our website and select “Giving” to make your contribution to LCA and select the area you would like to support.

A Gift of Stock

It is often more tax-wise to contribute a gift of stock than cash.   Please contact David Roberts in Institutional Advancement at [email protected] or 678-828-8350, ext. 250 prior to making your gift.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many organizations have corporate matching gif programs that can double and sometimes triple the value of your gift.  If your company has a matching gift program, please ask your human resources representative for a matching gift form to submit with your gift.  The Lanier Christian Academy Advancement Office will take care of the rest.

Bequests

Bequests are perhaps the easiest form of charitable estate planning and enable you to name Lanier Christian Academy in your will.  Please consult your own tax advisor to determine the best option for you.

Life Income Gifts

Life income gifts can allow you to increase your income receive a charitable contribution deduction and avoid capital gains taxes. Establishing a “charitable remainder annuity trust” or “charitable remainder unitrust” allowing you to receive income from the assets contributed.  As always, check with your attorney, accountant or tax advisor for additional information on how general rules apply to your particular situation.

This is certainly not meant to be an all-encompassing document on how you can support Lanier Christian Academy but merely offered to provide you options for giving.  Always consult with your own tax advisor to determine the best option for your charitable gift.

We at Lanier Christian Academy appreciate your interest and support of the school and would be pleased to provide you with additional information on the advantages of planned giving.
