Planned Giving

In addition to one-time and recurring pledge donations, many faithful of St. Hagop, including those recognized below, have contributed to the future of our church by making a legacy gift in their wills. Legacy gifts through bequests and other gift provisions are vitally important to building for the future of St. Hagop Armenian Church. Legacy gifts are either outright gifts (i.e. gifts of appreciated securities, real property, personal property, etc.) or deferred gifts (i.e. bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts). For more information on including St. Hagop in your planned giving, or to notify the church of a bequest you have already planned, please contact committee chair Michael Shahnasarian or John K. Shamsey, Esq.at 941-586-8415.
