Making a Planned Gift to the CLF
You can help to ensure the future of CLF by making a planned gift. And, you may benefit from doing this now! If you've been a long time member, providing for the CLF in your will allows you to create a lasting legacy.

The Eliot / Scott Fund
In 1944, Frederick May Eliot envisioned "a church in the fullest sense of the word, a Unitarian church which will serve isolated religious liberals wherever they might live," and Clinton Lee Scott established a Universalist Church of the Larger Fellowship in 1947. In 1972, the Board of Directors of CLF honored Frederick May Eliot and Clinton Lee Scott with the following resolution:

"The Frederick May Eliot-Clinton Lee Scott CLF Endowment Fund is hereby established by the Church of the Larger Fellowship Unitarian Universalist, to commemorate and honor the lives and works of these two great men who with foresight and wisdom developed the Church of the Larger Fellowship."

Gifts You Can Make to Ensure the Future of CLF
CLF’s planned-giving program enables potential donors to take advantage of available philanthropic techniques while providing financial support to the CLF.

CLF encourages contributions of cash, personal property, and real property, either as outright gifts or through deferred gift vehicles. There are many techniques which can be used, benefitting both the donor and the CLF. Click here for details.

Planned Giving Committee
The Board of Trustees has established a Planned Giving Committee to assist the Board in recommending a policy regarding plannd gifts, identifying and cultivating potential donors, soliciting gifts, and monitoring the administration of the gifts.
