How to Give

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. More

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. More

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. More

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. More

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. More

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. More

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. More

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! More

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. More

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. More

Beneficiary Designation Gifts

You can designate us as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy. More
