Planned Giving
There are many ways to support the ongoing ministry of Camp Allegheny. Endowments, creative gift planning, estate planning, and memorials are just some of the ways to ensure the long-term viability of this ministry while providing real and, sometimes significant, tax benefits to you and your family.
