1. Must I have an Estate to leave a gift?
An estate is simply a word used to describe any property, money or personal belongings that you
may have at the time of your death. Anyone can arrange to leave a charitable gift through their
estate when they pass away.
How do I leave a gift for an organization that I admire?
You can arrange for a gift in several ways, the most common being through a Will. Many people
set aside a certain dollar amount. Others leave a percentage of their Estate or any assets left over
after their family has been provided for. Some people will give a charity their home or something
they won, like a car. Others leave a paid-up life insurance policy or other financial investment.

Departments
 Donate appreciated stocks or property while you are living
 Remember loved ones with memorial gifts to help others less fortunate in the community
 Encourage your family and friends to leave gifts to nonprofits such as CSC in their Wills.
