Donation Ideas
Check or Cash Gifts
Money Market, Regular Checking Account,
Savings Account, or other funds may be given or combined with other
Gift Options.
Appreciated Assets
Stocks, Mutual Funds, Time Saving Certificates,
Valuable Collections, other types of securities, land, crops, and
livestock that have appreciated in value offer very economical, yet
productive ways of giving. Regardless of the purchase price, the
current full value establishes the gift amount. In addition, you
avoid Capital Gain Taxes.
Depreciated Assets
This option enables you to turn a no
longer needed or wanted item into a tax-deductible gift. Examples
are automobiles, boats, motorcycles, motor homes, trailer, and land
or water sport vehicles. If you would like to pursue this avenue of
giving, please contact our Director of Development.
Insurance Policies
Policies that are paid-up and / or no
longer needed for their original intended purpose can be assigned
to the Mission. The cash value as well as accumulated dividends are
tax-deductible. If you have a policy or policies you do not wish
to assign, you may give the current cash value and / or dividend
accumulations. Another option is that you can also assign future
cash value increases and dividends to the Mission.
Proceeds from a Sale of Personal
Property
You may have several items of value
that you no longer need or want. You can put their value to work
for the Lord by selling them and giving the proceeds of their sale
to the City Rescue Mission. It is possible that proceeds of the sale
may not be taxable. However, the cash gift would be tax-deductible.
Personal Gift-Liquidated Loans
These loans make funds immediately available
for ministry needs. They are non- collateralized loans that are satisfied
by a series of gift liquidation payments over a one, two, three,
or five-year period. At your option, the loans can be interest bearing
or non-interest bearing. Each liquidation payment is a tax-deductible
gift at the time of the payment
Other Donation Ideas
You may have another way you would like
to give that is not listed above. Some examples are including the
Mission in your Will, a Living Trust, a Gift Annuity, or a special
Trust. If you would like to discuss your desired way of giving, please
contact our Director of Development.
Your gift today makes it possible for
those who are less fortunate than you to receive immediate help and
encouragement for today, and hope for tomorrow.
