Outright Gift - Appreciated assets such as real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and collectibles can offer donors the opportunity to make a one-time gift to ministry, avoid capital gains taxes, and receive income tax deductions.
Stewardship Wills - This program provides simple wills and personal care forms to you free of charge when a gift is left to ministry through your estate. Let us help you create a plan for distribution of your assets after your death. Possessions can be effectively managed during your lifetime and efficiently distributed upon your death.
Endowment Services - Teen Challenge is establishing an endowment fund. This will provide a continuous stream of income from the interest the principle earns. These funds will be used to provide better training facilities for the students. Your endowment gift would become a living legacy as it would continue to give in years to come. Or, you can establish an endowment in your family's name funded with cash, appreciated securities or even real estate.
