Planned Giving
Have you considered giving appreciated, non-cash assets to support the ministries you love most? Planned giving allows you to make larger gifts to CVC than you could make from ordinary income.
Gifts that Help Today
Retirement Plan Assets and IRAs
You can give any amount up to $100,000 annually from your IRA directly to CVC without having to pay income tax on the distribution.
Real Estate
Whether you own commercial real estate or a vacation home, you may be able to turn your valuable property into funding for the Kingdom. Considering selling? You can potentially reduce taxes by giving appreciated commercial, residential, or undeveloped property.
Employer Sponsored Donations
Many companies provide matching donations when their employees support a charity, so check with your employer and see if you can increase your gift through matching funds from your employer.
Gifts that Help Later
Bequests (Estate Planning)
These are gifts made as part of a will or trust. A bequest can be made to a person, church, trust, or foundation. Anyone can make a bequest, in any amount, to CVC. Leave a legacy that builds the Kingdom by allowing CVC to be a beneficiary in your estate plan.
Life Insurance
A life insurance policy can also allow you to leave a legacy, not just for the people you love, but for CVC. If you choose to name CVC as a beneficiary in your life insurance policy your gift will go directly to CVC. Permanent life insurance policies stay in force throughout your life as long as you continue to pay the premiums.
Retained Life Interests
A Retained Life Interest is a gift to CVC of a personal residence or farm. You retain the ownership and right to live in it for the rest of your life and upon your death CVC is deeded the property. This allows the church to sell the property and use the proceeds for ministry growth.
