How to Give

Giving to our cause can be done either directly or through a gift model that can provide tax benefits and even income. Click on a gift model below to learn more.

  • You designate our organization as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust or beneficiary designation form.
  • Congress recently enacted a permanent extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover. As a result, you can make an IRA rollover gift in 2015, 2016 and beyond.
  • You can designate us as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.
  • You transfer your cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable remainder unitrust. The trust sells your property tax free and provides you with income for life or a term of years.
  • You transfer your cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable remainder annuity trust. The trust sells your property tax free and provides you with fixed income for life or a term of years.
  • You fund a trust that makes gifts to us for a number of years. Your family receives the trust remainder at substantial tax savings.
  • You give a portion of your property to us to fund a charitable remainder trust, when the property sells you receive cash and income for life.
  • We purchase your property for less than fair market value. You receive cash and a charitable deduction for the difference between the market value and purchase price.
  • You provide your children with a stream of income while making a gift to charity.
  • You give your property to our organization but retain the right to use the property during your life.
  • If your life insurance policy is no longer needed or will no longer benefit your survivors, consider making a gift that furthers student success, academic excellence or enhances the campus at CSULB.
