• Make your bequest unrestricted or direct it to a specific purpose.
• Indicate a specific amount, or a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate or trust.

Gifts from a Retirement Plan
Give us assets subject to double taxation, then leave more to your family.

• Name CASA as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified plan.
• Designate us to receive all or a portion of the balance of your plan through your plan administrator.
• The balance in your plan passes to CASA after your death.

Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Assets
Here is how to take advantage of appreciated securities without incurring capital gains tax.

• You transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to CASA.
• CASA sells your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs.

Gifts of Life Insurance
