Insurance

This is an excellent way to make a gift to CrossCity.  If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy.

Real Estate

A home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift to Cross City. these gifts can also be given in a way to create a life income stream for you.   

Bequest

A charitable bequest is one of the easiest and most flexible ways that you can leave a gift to CrossCity that will make a lasting impact.  Please contact the church offices if you have included us in your estate documents or you would like help/direction on creating a charitable plan. 

Charitable Trust

Generosity 101 is about careful planning that seeks to reduce or eliminate income, capital gains, as well as estate taxes.  If you don’t have a plan, we can help you and if you do let our team of charitable tax attorney’s review it with you and your advisors.  

Charitable Pooled Trust

Most trusts are created by you, the giver, and require both costs to set them up and to maintain them.  However, a Charitable Pooled Trust is a trust that is created by CrossCity.  It is ideal for people who would like to receive income for life.  

Donor Advised Fund

A Donor Advised Fund or DAF is a ‘charitable checking account’ of sorts.  You give or ‘fund’ the account using appreciated assets, receive the charitable deduction for the current tax year, then decide when and to whom to make the grant (gift).
