Gift Options

GIFTS OF STOCKS AND BONDS

Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to our organization.

GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE

Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift to our organization.

GIFTS OF RETIREMENT ASSETS

Donating 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 is an excellent way to make a gift to our organization.

GIFTS OF CASH

A gift of cash is a simple and easy way for you to make a gift.

GIFTS OF INSURANCE

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.

GIFTS OF MINERAL INTERESTS

A gift of mineral interests (oil, gas, gold, silver, or other precious metals) is an excellent way to make a charitable gift.

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 further our mission.

Please consult your personal financial advisor for personalized gift recommendations.
