Stewardship doesn't end with a weekly offering.
For many congregants, giving is already an expression of faith and gratitude. Legacy giving is a natural extension of something they already practice, not a hard sell. What's usually missing isn't willingness. It's a simple, guided way to act on it.
Your staff is focused on ministry, not paperwork.
Most congregations don't have a gift-planning staff member or an estate attorney on retainer. LotusGiving runs in the background once it's introduced to your congregation.
Extend your generosity beyond your lifetime.
Write a free will in about 20 minutes, and prayerfully consider including our ministry.
Start my will — freeThis is a sensitive, personal topic.
The experience is warm and self-paced, never urgent or transactional. Congregants complete it on their own time, in their own words, without pressure from anyone.

The average planned gift to a church exceeds lifetime annual giving
A congregant's legacy gift often dwarfs everything they gave during their lifetime, which is exactly why a simple, guided way to make that gift matters.
