Bequest – A bequest to Crossover Mission allows you full use of your assets during your lifetime while leaving a lasting legacy to the organization. Include Crossover Mission in your will or trust for a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or another type of provision to make a thoughtful gift to the organization and receive potential tax savings for your estate. An unrestricted bequest provides flexibility to use the gift for Crossover Mission’s greatest needs. You may also restrict your gift to a particular program or area of the organization.

Charitable Gift Annuity – To establish a charitable gift annuity, a donor makes a gift of cash or appreciated securities to Crossover Mission. In exchange, the donor is eligible to receive a charitable income tax deduction and receives annual (or quarterly, or semiannual) payments for life. Payment amounts may be made to the donor or to another person and are based on the age of the person receiving the payments.

Charitable Remainder Trust – A charitable remainder trust is made during your lifetime with benefits to you and a deferred benefit to Crossover Mission. When cash or securities or another asset are transferred to a trust, you receive payments from the trust for life or for a term of years (not exceeding 20). At the end of the lifetime or term of years, the trust terminates and the assets are passed to Crossover Mission.

Charitable Lead Trust – Such trusts work just the opposite of Charitable Remainder Trusts. A charitable lead trust is established when cash or securities or another asset are transferred to a trust. You would arrange for Crossover Mission to receive payments from the trust. At the end of the trust term, the remaining assets are distributed to the designated beneficiaries, usually children or other family members.

Life insurance – Name Crossover Mission as beneficiary of all or a percentage of a fully paid life insurance policy you may no longer need and you may receive a charitable estate tax deduction for the portion you designate.

Retirement plan assets – Designating Crossover Mission as the beneficiary of some or all of your retirement plan assets can be one of the most efficient ways to make a tax-free gift after your death. Name Crossover Mission as a percentage beneficiary of your retirement plan assets, and your estate will receive the appropriate charitable estate tax deduction.

Stock and Bond – Avoid capital gains tax and receive an income tax deduction for the market value when you make a gift. Gifts of savings bonds have tax consequences when transferred to individuals but may be bequeathed to charities with fewer tax ramifications. If you are thinking of making a bequest to charity and own savings bonds, consider funding your bequest with savings bonds.

Real estate – Gifts of homes or real property offer benefits, too. Real property gifts may include gifts of a primary residence or a vacation home. You may deed your home or vacation home to Crossover Mission while residing in and maintaining it during your lifetime and still be eligible to receive tax savings. Real estate gifts are subject to review by Crossover Mission.
