A lifetime income gift – such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust – is a wonderful solution if you wish to give to CRISTA Ministries in a substantial way, but are concerned about having enough retirement income.

You can give cash or other property, and receive steady income for the rest of your life. The remainder will benefit CRISTA Ministries.

Benefits of Lifetime Income Gifts

  • Win-win. Support CRISTA Ministries while securing income payments for life or a designated number of years.
  • Eliminate hassles. Give assets you no longer need or care to manage (such as rental property or vacation homes) to benefit God’s Kingdom.
  • Tax-wise. Receive an immediate income tax deduction at the time of your gift and reduce capital gains tax when funding your gift with appreciated assets.
