Our part in helping to fulfill the Great Commission in this generation.
Cru Foundation is our in-house team of professionals who have the singular goal of helping ministry partners accelerate the Great Commission through smarter generosity. They don’t charge for services or work on commission, so more of your gift goes directly to introduce people to Jesus and accelerate the Great Commission.
If you’ve wondered about the advantages of giving stock, real estate, business interest, opening a donor advised fund or giving from your IRA, Cru Foundation is who to talk with. They will listen to your goals and walk you through your options. Cru Foundation can also help you develop a Christ-centered charitable estate plan or set up a gift that also produces income, called a charitable gift annuity.
You can find all the charitable solutions that Cru Foundation provides in this downloadable booklet. If you have questions about your particular situation or would like to talk through giving options, they’re here to help.
