CSF offers tips and tools for lifelong charitable giving

Most people in FEC are familiar with the concept of tithing, giving 10% of their income to God’s work. But have you ever considered an estate tithe? David Teat, Christian Service Foundation president, explains. “For most people, the greatest value of their estates comes from their homes or other long-term appreciated assets. Giving a tithe on this value is a great way to thank God for this blessing.” Dave offers all kinds of strategies for making this kind of gift through CSF, everything from charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts to donor-advised funds. Dave can even advise you on why your IRA is the best asset to give. If you’d like to learn more about these kinds of gifts—or anything else related to wills and trusts, including a free Wills Guide—Dave is more than willing to present a seminar at your church, or answer your questions directly. Just give him a call at 260.423.3649. Or visit the CSF website at christianservicefoundation.org.
