A charitable donation to a non-profit organization like Christian Children's Fund of Canada can take many forms.

It can be a one-time donation, a gift of stock, an endowment or a bequest. You can select the form that best suits your lifestyle and personal giving goals.

Some people give an outright charitable donation of cash in one lump sum, while others pay their pledged amount over a period of time.

Major gifts to CCFC can include tangible assets like real estate, securities, and equipment.

Anyone can make a major gift charitable donation - individuals, families, foundations, and companies. We hope you will become one of our many supporters.

Major gifts to CCFC support one or more of our five priority sectors: Education, Health and Nutrition, Water and Sanitation, Micro-Enterprise Development, and Self Sustainability.

A major gift donation to CCFC's Urgent Need Fund is unrestricted. These unrestricted gifts allow CCFC to respond quickly to emergency situations like an earthquake or disease outbreaks.

Or you may wish to make a gift to support a particular project which appeals to your interest and motivation.

The main major gift donation categories are: immediate use, endowed, or planned giving.

Immediate Use - Your total gift of cash or property is used to build the project or support the sector of your choice. Gifts can be made annually, in a lump sum, or according to a schedule that best suits your needs.

Endowed - Your donation establishes a capital fund which is invested in CCFC's long-term investment pool and earns interest. Each year the interest is used to fund the project or sector of your choice. The capital, which remains unspent, generates interest and funds the project or sector in perpetuity. This type of giving is a great option for donors who want to establish a project or fund that will continue to benefit children for generations to come.

Planned Giving - These are gifts made while you are alive or at your death that maximize your giving while minimizing the taxes payable. This can be done by provision in your will and/or by making some of the gifts listed below while you are alive. The gift may be available to CCFC to spend in full or you can specify it be preserved as a capital sum to generate an annual amount in perpetuity. It is entirely up to you.

The main types of gifts that our supporters give are:

Gifts Through a Will
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of Life Insurance
Charitable Gift Annuity
Gifts of Property
Charitable Remainder Trust
