Meet Lisa Marie Higginbotham, regional gift planner

Lisa meets one-on-one with parishioners to help them make the best choices with their estate. No church is too small to benefit greatly from this service! We are forever strengthened by Lisa’s knowledge and expertise.

As we prepare for our upcoming “How Your Charitable Heart Can Leave a Legacy” Zoom presentation on 9/21/2021, we meet one of our two regional gift planners and presenters, Lisa Marie Higginbotham.

Working with the ELCA Foundation, Lisa serves our synod by helping individuals and organizations leave a legacy.

On September 21, 2021 at 6pm MST/PDT, please join us for a dynamic conversation with Lisa Higginbotham, CFRE and Josh Kerney of ELCA Foundation, as they help us connect our charitable hearts and desires to our gift planning intentions. Please register here.

Planning a legacy is different for each charitable heart, but there are some best practices to help you navigate this pathway of intent.

I discovered a deeper joy when Lisa and I created my legacy plan. She developed a plan that provides lifelong income to my siblings through a charitable remainder trust, which, upon their deaths, will be dispersed to four ELCA ministries. Pure joy! Thank you, Lisa!
