Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift.

Gifts of Cash

Gifts of Life Insurance

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity.

Gifts of Tangible Property

Gifts of tangible personal property present the collector and creator with opportunities to use their collections – large and small - for personal and charitable purposes during their lifetimes and as a part of their overall estate planning.
