Deferred and Planned Giving

Those who make planned gifts to Bethany are admitted into our Olive Tree Society. Because the olive tree matures very slowly, those who plant it leave a legacy for future generations. Likewise, Bethany’s Olive Tree Community is leaving a valuable legacy as alumni and friends of the Seminary make deferred gifts or commit to making a testamentary gift to Bethany. 

Please let us know if you have included Bethany in your financial planning so that we may welcome you to the Olive Tree Community. 

Planned gifts are among the most meaningful to make and to receive. Not only do they provide important support for Bethany, but they can also offer considerable tax advantages to you. Contact the Institutional Advancement Office at 765-983-1835 or giving@bethanyseminary.edu to discuss the right gift for you.
