GIVING INSTRUMENTS
OUTRIGHT GIFTS: Contribute gifts of stock, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance, IRA direct transfers or real estate.
PLEDGE GIFTS: Fulfill a multi-year commitment to CRS via cash, credit, stock or a planned gift.
LIFE INCOME GIFTS: Provide future support for CRS, a meaningful income tax deduction and an income for life or a specified term. Types of life income gifts include: charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable remainder annuity trusts of fixed income or variable income.
RETIREMENT PLANS: Name CRS as a beneficiary of your savings account, investment or brokerage accounts, IRA, 401(k), 403(b), insurance policy or other qualified retirement plan for a tax-efficient way to include CRS in your estate plans.
WILLS OR TRUSTS: Make a bequest to CRS through your will or trust to provide for the future work of CRS as a testament to your faith. Your bequest to CRS is free of income, capital gains and estate taxes.
CHARITABLE LEAD TRUSTS: Similar to a life income gift but in reverse, provide income from your charitable lead trust to CRS. When the trust terminates, the remainder transfers back to you or your other beneficiaries.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS: Choose a sponsoring organization—often a community foundation or university—to contribute to CRS. You will receive a one-time charitable tax deduction the year you establish your donor advised fund.
