estate planning

With Walther's Legacy Society, it's never too early to start thinking about YOUR legacy. Donors are encouraged to make bequests to Walther Christian Academy under their wills, trusts, insurance policies, commercial annuities and retirement plans or assets. Walther may be made beneficiary for a specific amount or percentage of the assets. Donors are asked to notify Walther of any planned giving intentions.  Walther urges donors to seek the assistance of personal legal and financial advisers in matters relating to their gifts, including the resulting tax and estate planning consequences.

Check out the Inventory & Planning Guide below. It is a downloadable and editable document which can assist you in thinking through all of your estate planning decisions, and helps your loved ones to carry out those plans.

Consider including Walther Christian Academy in your will or estate plan. Let's build a brighter future together!

Leave your mark or honor someone special with a personalized paver on our walkway from Chicago Avenue to the front door. For a $200 donation, we'll engrave it as you wish.  Up to 3 lines and 13 characters per line (including spaces).

"I give to Walther because the growth and achievement of the individual is so powerfully influenced by the intellectual, spiritual, and socioeconomic foundation and opportunities that surround that individual; to get the most out of the seed, the farmer optimizes the soil, as the amazing potential within the seed is already present, just waiting to be brought out."
