Join us for a presentation and Q&A with the Rev. Canon John Blossom, an Episcopal priest and planned giving expert. Blossom will provide an overview of various types of giving (including immediate gifts, deferred gifts, and gifts that increase personal income) to help you find ways to maximize your charitable contributions.
During his 50 years of ministry as a priest, Blossom has worked in inner city parishes and start-up parishes and as Canon for Evangelism of St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral in Peoria, Illinois. Father Blossom served the church as a non-stipendiary priest, and in his secular life he built a nationally prominent retirement plan administration and investment advisory company which he sold in 2020. He currently serves as Vice President -Planned Giving for the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.
