What to Give

What to Give
  • Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
    Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way to make a gift to a ministry of your choice.
    More
  • Gifts of Real Estate
    Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can be a mutually advantageous way to make a gift to ministry.
    More
  • Gifts of Retirement Assets
    You can donate part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan to a chosen beneficiary.
    More
  • Gifts of Cash
    A gift of cash is a simple and easy way for you to make a gift.
    More
  • Gifts of Insurance
    If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making it a gift. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults, that policy could now benefit a ministry dear to your heart.
    More
  • Gifts of Mineral Interests
    You can make a charitable gift of mineral interests (oil, gas, gold, silver, or other precious metals).
    More
  • Gifts of Business Interests
    As a business owner, you have the opportunity not only to build your business and accumulate wealth for yourself and your family, but also to accomplish your philanthropic goals through charitable planning. A gift of your corporate stock or assets can provide you with tax and income benefits and help a charitable beneficiary.
