More Ways Give

A Guide to Types  of Donations

There are limitless ways to give to People for CHRIST.

One-Time Donation  & Recurring Gifts

You can select PayPal, GiveSendGo or CashApp to make one-time for monthly gift.

Employee Matching Gifts

Check with your employer to see if this option is available to you. Your employer will match your gift up to their established levels.

Donate Stock

Another popular type of donations that nonprofits receive comes through stock. Did you know you can donate long-term appreciated securities such as stock, bonds and mutual funds? And it’s easier than it may seem. When you donate the stock itselfβ€”rather than selling or liquidating the securityβ€”not only do you remove a step in the process, but you won’t need to remove the long-term capital gains taxes paid from the overall sum. This increases your donation amount up to 37% more. To transfer stock, either you or your broker fills out the transfer authorization for form and that’s all there is to it.

Planned Gifts

It can be hard to think about what happens after we’re gone, but setting up a planned gift is a great way to ensure the charities you support are included in your arrangements. There are a number of ways you can use planned giving to build charitable giving into your life plans, even after death. Some can even help you lower your taxable income now! Consider planning ahead now and explore some of these ways for giving after life:

  • Bequest:

    • A specific bequest of money or property naming the nonprofit as a beneficiary

    • Residual bequest of the remainder of the estate after specific bequests

    • Contingent bequest in which the gift to the nonprofit occurs if the original beneficiaries die before the donor

  • Planned Gift:

    • Charitable Remainder Trust

    • Charitable Gift Annuity

    • Charitable Lead Trust

    • Life Tenancy Agreement

  • Life Insurance:

    • The nonprofit can be named as the beneficiary of a new life insurance policy, which is revocable by the donor

    • The nonprofit can be named as the owner and beneficiary of a new life insurance policy, which is irrevocable

    • An existing life insurance policy can be changed to include the nonprofit as a beneficiary or to transfer ownership of the policy to the nonprofit.

  • Qualified Retirement Plan:

    • The nonprofit can be named as the beneficiary of a tax-deferred retirement plan, including IRA, 401(k), 403(b), Keogh, etc.

In-Kind Donations

Donations don’t need to be monetary to make an impact for nonprofits, in-kind donations are a gift of goods, services, time, or expertise. When you provide an in-kind donation, you’re helping to alleviate some of the stress People for CHRIST undergoes, and allows us to use our financial resources in better ways. For example, when you donate your time and expertise, you’re allowing People for CHRIST to put more money toward our mission instead of additional staff, or to help existing staff work more efficiently by taking on some of the load, and bring experience to the organization that might otherwise need to be outsourced. Gifts of goods, like…

  • Billboard Space, Vinyl Graphic Services

  • Laptops

  • Copy paper

  • HP LaserJet 206X printer ink

  • Gas cards for our mission van

  • Visa, AMEX, and Mastercard gift cards of any amount

  • Office Max, Walmart, and Amazon gift cards

  • Unused airline points

…all help us from spending funds we could use to place more PRAY Billboards across America.
