Bequest

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause.

Beneficiary Designations

A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support our cause. You can designate our organization as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA rollover allows people age 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Give it Twice Trust

You may be looking for a way to provide your children with income while making a gift to us. The "give it twice" trust is a popular option that allows you to transfer your IRA or other asset when you pass away to fund a term of years charitable remainder unitrust.
