Retirement Plans

Retirement Plans
Did you know that you can use your retirement plan as a gift to Florida Conference? It’s fairly straightforward and doesn’t incur tax liabilities for your gift. Here are three suggestions on how you can make a retirement plan gift.
Beneficiary Naming
By naming Florida Conference as the beneficiary of your retirement plan, you will be able to avoid estate taxes as well as income taxes on the assets being contributed.
Retirement Accounts Gifts Given Today
Providing you are over age 59½ and your funds are in a traditional retirement account, you may wish to withdraw your charitable gifts from that account. The withdrawal would be considered income; but you would have a corresponding tax deduction for the gift, generally not resulting in any tax liability.
Rollover Your IRA for Good
By taking a distribution from your IRA this year, you will likely pay more taxes and may even reach a higher tax bracket. Rolling over part of you  IRA’s “required minimum distribution” or “RMD” to support the Lord’s work can help reduce your tax bill while fullfilling the great commission.
If you are 70 1/2 or older and don’t need your RMD, you can make a gift up to $100,000 this year from your IRA to help further the mission. Contact your IRA administrator to get started with your gift. While you will not recieve an income tax deduction, you will not pay taxes on any distributions made directly to the Florida Conference from your IRA custodian. Please inform us of your plans so that we use your gift for the ministry that means the most to you.
To explore the benefits of a specific gift, please contact our Planned Giving Specialist at 407-644-5000 x2242 and request that your tax preparer reviews your individual situation.

About Us


The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored ministry open to all families of children in grades 1-4. Our mission is to support parents and caregivers in leading and encouraging their children in a growing, joyful love relationship with Jesus Christ.
The first few years of a child’s life sets the stage for their future.  For parents/families of pre-K through fourth grade children, our Adventurer Clubs provide a safe place to encourage the development of the necessary social and interpersonal skills they need, in an environment that promotes Christian values and responsibilities.
Families will learn a variety of topics together, from character building, nature, hobbies, safety, and much more. This club also has parenting tips and resources through the family network and is designed to help you be the best parent/caregiver you can be as you partner with your child and other families to grow your kids to be the best they can be. Most clubs meet twice a month.
