Your Legacy Journey
Retirement Planning and Faithful Generosity
How do you think about retirement?
For some, retirement represents a long-awaited season of rest after years of faithful work. For others, it is a new chapter — an opportunity to invest time, wisdom, and resources in ways that reflect what matters most.
However you imagine this season, thoughtful planning is an act of stewardship. Retirement planning is not only about preparing financially for the years ahead — it is also an opportunity to consider the legacy you hope your life will leave behind.
For many InterVarsity ministry partners, this season becomes a meaningful time to reflect on the ways God has worked in their lives and to prayerfully consider how that impact might continue for future generations of students and faculty.
Whether you are still in your working years or already enjoying retirement, there are thoughtful ways to integrate generosity into your long-term plans, helping ensure that the story of transformed lives on campus continues for years to come.
Our Estate & Gift Planning team would be honored to help you explore options that align with your personal goals, your family’s needs, and your desire to support the ministry you care about.
With gratitude,
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
— 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
