CENTRAL IOWA FCA 

VISION FUND

YOUR FCA LEGACY

Central Iowa FCA desires to have enough Field Staff to serve at least one coach on every central Iowa high school and college campus. Adding and sustaining Field Staff positions is the primary focus of the VISION FUND. FCA camps, inner-city ministries, and other God-inspired outreach will also be supported by the VISION FUND.

Three VISION FUND Plans will provide growth and sustainability for the FCA ministry. Choose the Plan or Plans to make an impact most meaningful to you, including:

* Marathoner Plan … an endowment for long-term sustainability.

*Sprinter Plan … fully spendable dollars for current ministry growth.

*Pacer Plan … part spendable, part endowment, for growth and sustainability.

The VISION FUND Plans are professionally managed by the Ronald Blue Trust with oversight by the FCA National Office and the State of Iowa FCA Board of Directors.

Annual distributions from each VISION FUND Plan are made exclusively to Central Iowa FCA. The initial goal is distributions that provide $100,000 for the annual Central Iowa FCA budget.

Craft a unique FCA legacy plan to reflect your personal values and financial priorities.

Support the VISION FUND with a LIFETIME gift, ESTATE provision, or a combination of both. 

LIFETIME gifts let you see your support in action; ESTATE provisions assure personal and family needs are met ahead of the legacy you create.  Both have unique tax-saving possibilities.

Direct your LIFETIME gift or ESTATE provision to the VISION FUND Plan or Plans most meaningful to you:  

* Marathoner Plan … Gifts are fully invested to produce annual income for FCA in perpetuity. 

* Sprinter Plan … Gifts are spent on the most urgent growth opportunities.

*Pacer Plan … Gifts are invested for long-term income production with some available for urgent growth opportunities.

Central Iowa FCA Board Member:

"We are pleased to have a provision for the ‘Vision Fund’ in our estate plan. Knowing this gift will place FCA representatives on central Iowa campuses beyond our lifetimes brings us joy. Thanks to all current FCA supporters for considering your opportunity to support the ‘Vision Fund.’ ”

Kevin and LuAnn Smith:

"We want to provide for FCA’s Vision Fund out of gratitude for the influence and “seed planting” the ministry had on me 50 years ago and for the ongoing message of hope and freedom that it provides coaches and student-athletes in a world that wants to bind and discourage them. We remain grateful that FCA staff and leadership promote truth seekers with identities centered in Christ Jesus and the community."
