ANNUAL GIVING
Giving annually to support Cedarkirk’s ministry is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. Our annual supporters sustain vital programs and ensure that we maintain a space for exploration, recreation, and transformation for individuals and communities. These annual one-time donations provide support that helps bridge the gap between our operating revenue and what it costs to provide programs and host guest groups each year. Join us in making a difference year after year.
PLANNED GIVING
Planned gifts can be made at any time to immediately support Cedarkirk’s ministry, or they can be arranged to occur upon your death as a final way to leave your legacy. Consider the options below as you consult with your financial planner.
GIFTS BY WILL OR REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST
Often referred to as a “bequest,” this form of giving is accomplished by working with your attorney to include bequest language in your will or living trust. Whether you are creating a new will, or modifying an existing document, you can leave a legacy gift supporting Cedarkirk’s ministry far into the future.
GIFTS OF STOCK AND APPRECIATED SECURITIES
Some of our supporters have marketable stock or securities that have grown in value. Giving the appreciated securities to Cedarkirk results in a tax exemption on the gain. You receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of your gift and Cedarkirk can use the funds to drive our mission forward.
GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE AND RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS
You can make Cedarkirk the owner and/or the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan. By naming Cedarkirk as a full or partial beneficiary of your policy or plan, you can make valuable gifts to Cedarkirk during or after your lifetime.
GIFTS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY
You can make gifts of cryptocurrency to Cedarkirk as well. Our investment company can accept transfer of the assets and convert it to use as a donation to benefit our ministry.
Cedarkirk recommends you talk with your financial advisor, attorney, or accountant when planning
for a legacy gift. Executive Director, Matthew Shick, would love to meet with you if you have interest in creating a
legacy gift or donating a non-cash asset to Cedarkirk.
