Featured Ways to Give

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.

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.

Donor Advised Fund

A donor advised fund is a way to simplify your giving by making a gift to a fund with us that can distribute gifts to the charities of your choice during your lifetime and after you are gone.

Gift Annuity

You transfer your cash or appreciated property to our organization in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed payments (with rates based on your age) for the rest of your life.

Our Mission

You can make a significant difference in the lives of others as well as advance our mission and goals by planning a future gift that is both meaningful and lasting.

Your involvement can help us fulfill our mission through many different ways.
