• Bequests
  Typically a gift of cash, appreciated securities, or personal property.
  
  
• Retirement Assets
  Designation of all or a portion of unspent retirement fund assets.
  
  
• Life Income Gifts
  A gift of cash, appreciated securities, or other assets, such as real estate, in exchange for regular income payments for life or over a fixed period of time.
  
  
• Real Estate
  A gift of real estate, allowing you or another to use the property for life, or, with a Charitable Remainder Trust, to generate additional income.
  
  
• Charitable Lead Trusts
  Income from the trust is paid to the charity for a defined period (specific number of years or an individual's lifetime).  When the trust terminates, the remaining assets are transferred to individuals named by the donor.
