The Luke Fund Endowment
Planned gifts of all kinds can be designated for the Luke Fund, CSC’s endowment fund that has as its primary goal securing CSC financially for the future. Luke needed full-time care during the 23 years his life blessed us. Children like Luke need lifetime care, and we want CSC to be present and financially viable to continue to offer the other children who will come into our care in the future quality care in line with their needs. CSC will invest the funds donated for the Luke Fund and will use a portion of the interest to help fund the ministry.

Planned giving can be described as planning to make a difference both for yourself and for a cause that you believe in through a charitable gift. Planned giving often involves “leaving a legacy” because many planned gifts are created to make an impact for future generations.

It is surprisingly easy to arrange a planned gift. Though more sophisticated gifts require more care, many methods are quite straightforward. Whatever the method, you can plan your gift to maximize your objectives.

Planned Giving
Options

Present gifts

The charity receives the benefit of a present gift immediately. These gifts may take the form of:

Gift of cash
Matching Gifts
Memorials and Honoraria
Transfer of stock
Life insurance (cash value)

Deferred gifts

For a deferred gift, the donor creates the gift now, but the charity receives the benefit of the gift at some later time (e.g. upon the donor’s death or at a specified date). Deferred gifts may include:

Bequests in a will




A planned gift can:
  • give you a tax advantage. (Often the tax benefits are quite substantial.)
  • fit appropriately with your estate plans and concerns for heirs
  • complement your lifestyle goals
  • match your wish to leave a legacy to the cause you care about
