Outright
Gifts
Outright gifts are present-day gifts whose value passes to CASA immediately.
They may consist of cash, securities, property or matching gifts. These
gifts, which are fully tax deductible, play a key
role in supporting CASA. These include:
- Increasing
volunteer retention and advocacy for children,
- Recruiting
and training additional volunteers,
- Increasing
public awareness
Cash
Gifts
An outright gift of cash is the most simple and direct way to support
CASA of Collin County. Through gifts of cash, checks and/or credit
cards you will receive the appropriate charitable tax deduction.
Matching
Gifts
Many corporations will match gifts made by their employees and associates,
which doubles or even triples your investment to CASA. Please check
with your Human Resources Department to determine if your employer participates
in such a program.
Planned
Gift Giving
Planned gifts include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, gifts of life insurance, pooled income funds, and charitable trusts. Talk with your accountant or trust attorney for specific information regarding
of these planned giving avenues:
