Beneficiary Designations

Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their wills or estates. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using: 

  • IRAs and retirement plans
  • Life insurance policies
  • Donor advised funds
  • Commercial annuities

It is very simple to name CSSC as a beneficiary. Start by requesting a change-of-beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download the form from your provider’s website. Make your desired changes and return the form to establish your gift.

IRA Charitable Rollovers: A Special Opportunity for Those 70½ Years Old and Older

Make a difference today and save on taxes. It’s possible when you support CSSC through your IRA.

You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $111,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as CSSC without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $111,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.

Why Consider This Gift?

  • Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
  • Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD).
  • You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
  • Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.

Charitable Gift Annuities

There’s a way for you to support CSSC’s work and feel confident that you have dependable income in your retirement years.

Wills and Trusts

You want to leave money to CSSC in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

If you’ve built a sizable estate and are also looking for ways to receive reliable payments, consider this kind of donation.

Endowed Gifts

When you make a donation to our endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at CSSC. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
