For the convenience of donors, Northland has several means to allow donors to become financial partners, including the following:

• One time cash gifts via check, credit card, or bank draft

• Monthly or quarterly gifts via check, credit card, or bank draft

• Shares of stock (Note that transferring shares of appreciated stock allows a donor to receive a tax deduction for the full amount of the stock without paying taxes on the appreciation)

• Planned giving: Northland’s development office is able to provide assistance with a large number of planned giving services such as estate planning, charitable gift annuities, deferred gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, testamentary bequests and life insurance.
  
  
• Charitable Gift Annuities: Charitable Gift Annuities provide a way for donors to recieve lifelong income and tax benefits. They can be secured for one life or two. Charitable Gift Annuities are popular because they are very easy to establish and are valued by women who normally outlive their husband and enjoy the security of these agreements.
  
  
• Wills: Leaving a portion of one's estate to the Lord's work makes a dynamic statement to family and friends of the values you embraced in life. Gifts can be a percentage of the estate, a specified amount, or a portion of the residual after other gifts and obligations have been fulfilled.
