Planned Giving
YOUR GIFTS CHANGE LIVES
Your gifts change lives. Through your gifts, you are offering the hope Christ offers in our community.
Native American Christian Academy (NACA) partners with the Nazarene Foundation for U.S.-based charitable gift planning services. Through the foundation, you can explore gifting alternatives that would fulfill your current financial needs while also changing lives. You can also leave a lasting legacy by giving a portion of your estate to NACA through a will.

Using sound charitable gift planning tools can help fund life-changing work through Native American Christian Academy and may also help you accomplish one or more of the following objectives:
- Increase your income
- Bypass taxes
- Create charitable deductions
- Give non-cash gifts
- Increase your giving
- Endow your regular giving
- Leave a legacy through your will
- Establish a family foundation
ENDOWMENTS
Pensions and IRA accounts are the most heavily taxed accounts you own. Your heirs will pay income tax (U.S. federal and state) and potentially estate taxes, too. Naming Native American Christian Academy as the sole beneficiary will avoid all taxes on those funds. You can also name Native American Christian Academy as a partial beneficiary if you wish for a portion of your funds to go to your heirs.
TRUSTS & GIFT ANNUITIES
Pensions and IRA accounts are the most heavily taxed accounts you own. Your heirs will pay income tax (U.S. federal and state) and potentially estate taxes, too. Naming Native American Christian Academy as the sole beneficiary will avoid all taxes on those funds. You can also name Native American Christian Academy as a partial beneficiary if you wish for a portion of your funds to go to your heirs.
ESTATE PLANS
One of the simplest ways to give is a bequest provision in your estate plan documents. Your bequests can be for a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate (a 10% tithe, for example), or the remainder of your estate after you have provided for others.
PROPERTY GIFTS
The sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, or business interests that have appreciated in value generate hefty capital gains taxes (U.S. federal and state). Your gift of these holdings to Native American Christian Academy would avoid all capital gains taxes, and you would receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the gift. Appreciated property gifts can be made directly to Native American Christian Academy or can be made in the form of a deferred gift, such as a Charitable Remainder Trust or Life Estate Agreement.
DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
The fastest growing form of charitable giving is the Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). With a DAF, you make an initial gift of property or cash and receive a tax deduction for the full value of your gift. Your gift is then held and invested until you recommend distributions to a charity at a future time. You can designate your distributions to Native American Christian Academy.
IRA OR PENSION PLAN GIFTS
Pensions and IRA accounts are the most heavily taxed accounts you own. Your heirs will pay income tax (U.S. federal and state) and potentially estate taxes, too. Naming Native American Christian Academy as the sole beneficiary will avoid all taxes on those funds. You can also name Native American Christian Academy as a partial beneficiary if you wish for a portion of your funds to go to your heirs.
IRA ROLLOVER GIFTS
This gift will reduce your taxable income and further ministry simultaneously. You can avoid taxes on the transfer of up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to Native American Christian Academy.
