Gifts to Children International can be arranged in a variety of ways that will maximize your support of needy children while minimizing your tax burdens. Please speak with your tax advisor or contact us to help you find the giving method that you prefer.

Cash. The simplest and most popular type of charitable gift.

Pledges. Making a long-term pledge enables donors to give more than would be possible with a single donation.

Endowment. Capital held long-term by a non-profit with income used to support
ongoing projects and meet institutional opportunities.

Will Bequest. A transfer of property to Children International through a will. Allows
donors to make a substantial gift that may not be possible during their lifetimes.

Gift Annuity. Provides a guaranteed income for life to the donor, with the gift remainder payable to Children International upon your death.

Deferred Gift Annuity. Similar to a gift annuity, except payments begin at a future date.

Appreciated Stock. Gifts of appreciated stock (held more than one year) offer attractive tax incentives.

Bonds and Mutual Funds. These offer tax benefits similar to appreciated stock.

CDs, Savings Accounts, Brokerage Accounts, Checking Accounts with P.O.D. Provisions. With Pay On Death provisions, the account balance is paid to your beneficiary immediately upon your death.

Charitable Remainder Trusts (Irrevocable) (Annuity and Unitrusts.) These trusts provide flexibility in choosing a suitable income arrangement to meet your needs.

Charitable Lead Trust. Assets (cash and securities) are transferred to a trust that pays income to Children International for a predetermined time period.

Real Estate. Gifts of real estate offer a popular alternative to cash donations.

Gift of Life Insurance. By transferring ownership of a policy and naming a charity as beneficiary, donors can make a significant future gift.

Retirement Accounts. These may be given to Children International by proper beneficiary designation.
