Planned Giving
Planned Giving or Deferred Giving are giving opportunities that provide tax savings. Below are some ways you can give to support the ministry of Columbia International University. You can also click on the link at the end to request more information or for someone to contact you.
Annuities:
- A gift annuity supports you and it supports us. It is a practical plan that supports your living needs by providing you with a regular return on your gift to the ministries of Columbia International University.
Trusts:
- A trust is similar to an annuity in that it provides you with a regular return on your gift to the ministries of Columbia International University. There are multiple variations of trusts and one of our professional staff will be happy to meet with you to help you understand your options. A trust can be established at CIU with a minimum gift of $50,000.
Wills:
- Your will is a legal document that allows you to dictate the distribution of your assets upon your death. We provide extensive help in the establishment of your will by employing a confidential Will and Trust Planning Guide. This remarkable tool is free for the asking.
Appreciated assets/stocks:
- The donation of appreciated assets provides an opportunity to avoid capital gains tax, make a significant gift to this ministry and take a charitable deduction. Appreciated assets can be used to fund both annuities and trusts.
Life Insurance:
- You can purchase a life insurance policy in which you name Columbia International University as the owner of the policy. Premiums on the policy are tax deductible.
