Ways YOU can give There are many ways you can give to IRCSF. First, IRCSF accepts cash donations and marketable securities. Additionally, IRCSF will also accept upon review, tangible personal property, closely held public stock, real estate, and other non-cash assets. You may also give through a variety of other means as well.  Bequests You can write IRCSF into your will or trust. By designating IRCSF as a beneficiary, you can make a portion of your estate tax deductible and avoid possible heavy estate taxes. Years after your death, the money will still be funding the cause of Christ.  Charitable Gift Annuity A gift to IRCSF that allows you to support the mission of Indian Rocks Christian School, while at the same time receive fixed payments for life, is a charitable gift annuity. The amount paid out is determined by the size of gift and your age. This type of gift can provide you with a variety of tax benefits, including a federal income tax charitable deduction.  Donor Advised Fund Another way you can give is through a Donor Advised Fund, which is similar to a charitable checking account. You transfer cash or other assets to IRCSF, get an immediate federal income tax deduction, and have the option to recommend financial grants to Indian Rocks Christian School or your other favorite charities whenever you want – it’s like having your very own private foundation.
