How to Give

Giving to our cause can be done either directly or through a gift model that can provide tax benefits and even income. Click on a gift model below to learn more.

• Bequest
  You designate our organization as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust or other instrument.
  
• IRA Rollover
  Congress has enacted a permanent IRA charitable rollover. As a result you can make an IRA rollover gift this year and in future years.
  
• Donor Advised Funds
  You fund a DAF and make charitable gift recommendations during your lifetime. When you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
  
• Beneficiary Designation Gifts
  You can designate us as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.
  
• Charitable Gift Annuity
  You transfer your cash or appreciated property to our organization in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed income (with rates based on your age) for the rest of your life.
  
• Charitable Unitrust
  You transfer your cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable trust. The trust sells your property tax free and provides you with income for life or a term of years.
  
• Charitable Annuity Trust
  You transfer your cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable trust. The trust sells your property tax free and provides you with fixed income for life or a term of years.
  
• Charitable Lead Trust
  You transfer your cash or property to fund a lead trust that makes gifts to us for a number of years. You receive a charitable deduction for the gift. Your family receives the remainder at substantial tax savings.
  
• Sale and Unitrust
  If you give a portion of your property to us to fund a charitable remainder trust, when the entire property sells you receive cash and income for life.
  
• Bargain Sale
  We purchase your property for less than fair market value. You receive the cash and a charitable deduction for the difference between the market value and purchase price.
  
• Give it Twice Trust
  You may be looking for a way to provide your children with income while making a gift to charity. The Give it Twice Trust is a popular option that allows you to transfer your IRA at death to a term of years unitrust.
  
• Life Estate Reserved
  You may desire to leave your home or farm to us at your death, but would like to receive a current charitable tax deduction. A life estate reserved might offer the solution you need!
  
• Gift and Bequest
  A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an easy way to support our cause today and make a lasting future impact.
  
• Endowment Gifts
  An endowment is a fund you can create now or in the future to achieve the impact you desire.
  
• IRA to Gift Annuity Rollover
  You may be looking for a way to help further our mission and enhance your income. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time IRA rollover to fund a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed payments for life.
