Gifts made from your estate by will, trust or beneficiary designation

Gifts that support our cause and save you taxes

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Bargain Sale

We purchase your property for less than fair market value. You receive cash and a substantial charitable deduction for the difference between the market value and purchase price.

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

You can make gifts during your lifetime. When you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.

Blended Gift

There are many lifetime and estate gift options that can make your giving go farther than a simple gift of cash or property.

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 Gift

An endowment is a fund you can create now or in the future to achieve the impact you desire.

What is Gift Planning?

Gift planning is charitable giving coordinated with your charitable financial, tax and estate goals. Good planning with tax-wise gifting strategies enables you to make significant charitable gifts during life and after you pass away.
