About PhilanthroCorp

PhilanthroCorp has helped thousands of families create estate plans that meet their goals, save taxes and support ministries they care about.

Our Mission

We do not sell products or insurance; we will simply study your information and develop an estate plan that will maximize your goals for family and ministry while minimizing taxes.

Personalized Assistance

PhilanthroCorp will help you easily and completely understand everything about your options to reach your goals of providing for family and ministries you care about.

Estate planning is for everyone, regardless of whether you have a lot or a little. The benefit will be to your loved ones and the charities you care most about.

Completing your estate planning process will relieve the tension in your mind, knowing that life is uncertain and the nagging worry that your affairs may need to be brought up-to-date. Experience the joy and relief of knowing you are leaving the legacy you desire.

PhilanthroCorp will help you identify your important relationships and resources and then recommend the most effective tools to ensure that your family is well cared for and that you leave the legacy you choose.

  • The process begins with a phone interview where PhilanthroCorp asks questions to learn your story, including your wishes and hopes for future generations.
  • PhilanthroCorp then provides options that can guide you to legacy decisions within the privacy of your home.
  • Based on those decisions, PhilanthroCorp will help you create a plan that will be refined through a series of phone conversations and then ultimately implemented by your attorney or an attorney that PhilanthroCorp can refer you to.

Please have in mind estimated values for:

  • Assets like real estate, vehicles, special possessions
  • Life insurance

  • Other investments and savings

What People Are Saying About PhilanthroCorp

Carterville Baptist Church is like family to us. We raised our family here. We continue to be part of several ministries which continue to be a real blessing to us. Before PhilanthroCorp, we had wills done, years ago. Nothing as detailed as what we set up now. Our wills are now more personal and specific to our situation and reflect our wishes. It was such a good experience. There was never an unexpected surprise as we worked with PhilanthroCorp. Their services are a great tool to get a project like this accomplished and we are thankful for the church to introduce us to PhilanthroCorp.

Bill and Martha Wedgeworth

We had created wills years prior, but decided to work with PhilanthroCorp once we learned of their services. We had a very good experience working with their team of experts. They helped expand our knowledge of estate planning. We would recommend going through this process, especially if you have never done estate planning before. PhilanthroCorp connected us to a very knowledgeable local attorney, and we were pleased with the services we received.

John and Becky Louk

Sue and I were unsure if the estate planning process was really for us because we didn’t know if we had enough resources for it all to be worth it. Thankfully, we took the risk with PhilanthroCorp and could not be happier. We quickly learned how valuable completing the process truly is. PhilanthroCorp provided exceptional service: they were affordable, kind, and accommodating.

Jerry and Sue McKinley

Prior to working with the Estate Specialist at PhilanthroCorp, we had created very basic wills many years ago. We truly benefitted from PhilanthroCorp’s expertise, and we appreciated their Biblical approach to wills and estate planning - we had not looked at it from that mindset previously. PhilanthroCorp helped us focus on our values and prepare for eternity. Now we have plans in place that share our Christian legacy and what is truly important to us. Not only did PhilanthroCorp guide us from a Christian perspective, but they were extremely knowledgeable in answering all of our many questions. They helped us customize our plans that will also benefit our family. This is not only a wonderful service, but a great exercise that all families should utilize in helping you to evaluate what truly matters.

Adam and Amelia Watkins

The greatest benefit we have witnessed from completing our will and estate plan with PhilanthroCorp is the level of authenticity their specialists provided us. Amy and I recently had a life changing event which really put everything into perspective—we knew going through this process was vitally important in terms of keeping our family safe and protected from life’s unprecedented times. PhilanthroCorp embodies patience, professionalism, and genuine partnership. Amy and I could not have asked for much more.
