Turning Generosity Into Lasting Impact
Donor-advised funds provide you with a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient giving opportunity. Receive an immediate tax deduction when you deposit cash or proceeds from appreciated assets into a single charitable giving account. Then, recommend that grants be made to Colorado Christian University and your other favorite charities at a time that works best for you.
Through Colorado Christian University’s membership with Barnabas Foundation, you have complimentary access to the “Stewards Fund,” a donor-advised fund that reflects your biblical values.
