Benefits For Family and Lutheran Social Services
of Central Ohio

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.


Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>.


Fixed Income for Retirement
After working for decades as a pediatrician in a small rural town, Patricia Brown was ready to retire. Patricia owned some stock but was concerned about leaving it in the market where it could go up or down. She needed a secure source of retirement income for the future.

Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman 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 White 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 >>.
