Ways to Give

All gifts to the CDC Campaign are tax-deductible and may be made in a variety of forms including:

Cash: Donors may make a cash gift and/or three-year pledge through a written commitment to continue a gift over the period of the campaign.

Property: Gifts can take the form of property such as securities, real estate, works of art and other personal items. Gifts of appreciated securities have special tax advantages to donors. The Fairplex development team and your attorney or tax planner can assist you in making gifts of this type.

Bequests: Bequests are gifts made through a will or trust. Charitable bequests reduce the size of a donor’s taxable estate and therefore may be advantageous for estate planning purposes. The Fairplex development team can provide you with appropriate bequest language.

Life Income: There are opportunities for donors to receive income from contributions of cash, securities or other property. The CDC Foundation invests the assets and pays income to the donor and his or her spouse or other beneficiaries for a predetermined period, often over a lifetime. Whenthe “life interests” end, the remaining principal is used to support the work of the CDC.
