Their Surplus Offset a Deficiency -Conclusion of HOW SOME CHOOSE TO CONTRIBUT TO THE WORLDWIDE WORK

Wills and Trusts:  Property or money may be bequeathed   to an entity unsed by Jehovah's Witnesses under an arrangement of a legally executed  will or by specifying the entity as the beneficiary of a trust agreement.  This arrangement may provide certain tax privileges.

As the term "charitable planning" implies, these types of donations typically require some planning on the part of the donor. To assist individuals desiring to benefit the worldwide work of Jehovah's Witneses through some form of charitable giving, a brochure  entitled Charitable Planning to Benefit the Kingdom Service Worldwide has been prepared in English and Spanish.  The brochure was written to provide information on a variety of ways that gifts may be made now or later, as through a bequest at death.  The information covereed in his brochure  may not apply fully to your situation becauase of tax or other laws in your country. Hence, after reading the brochure, you should confer with your own legal tax advisers, By usinng methods  of charitable giving, many have been able to help support our religious  and  humanitarian  activities worldwide and maxmize their tax benefits. If available in your country, the brochure may be obtained by requesting a copy from the secretary of the local congregations.
