Giving to CRCI

Make a life-changing impact at CRCI through your generous support.

How to Give

Give Now

Make a gift today to support CRCI’s life-changing recovery programs. Your generosity helps provide housing, counseling, meals, transportation, and essential care for our residents.

Current Gifts

Did you know that 60% of CRCI’s support comes from donors just like you? There are many ways to make an immediate impact:

Cash : Checks, credit cards, or electronic funds transfers.
Securities : Publicly held stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
Real Estate / Gifts-In-Kind : Property, equipment, vehicles, or other items that support our campuses.
IRA Charitable Rollover : Satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) by giving directly from your IRA.
Donor Advised Funds (DAF) : Recommend a grant to CRCI directly from your donor-advised fund.

Endowed Gifts
Create a permanent legacy in your name or in memory of a loved one.
Your principal is invested, and annual earnings support CRCI programs year after year in perpetuity.

Pledged Gifts

Pledged gifts allow you to spread your support over time. You can make a multi-year commitment (up to 4 years) and support CRCI through scheduled installments.

This option enables long-term impact while giving you flexibility in your giving plan.

Planned Gifts (After-Lifetime Gifts)

Planned gifts allow you to make a powerful impact now or in the future.
Bequests

Designate CRCI in your will or living trust.

Retirement Accounts

Name CRCI as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan.

Life Insurance Policies

List CRCI as a beneficiary of an existing or new life insurance policy.

Many donors choose a combination of current and planned gifts, creating a legacy today and for generations to come.

Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to combine tax advantages with flexible charitable giving.

You can:

Recommend a grant to CRCI from your DAF
Support residents and programs on your own timeline
Create long-term impact through proactive giving

If you already have a DAF, simply recommend Christian Recovery Centers, Inc. as the beneficiary.

Matching Gifts

DOES YOUR EMPLOYER OR PAST EMPLOYER OFFER A MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM?

Many employers—and even some retiree programs—offer matching gift opportunities, where your donation to CRCI can be doubled or even tripled at no extra cost to you. These programs amplify your impact, helping us extend recovery services, enhance campus spaces, and honor the generosity that fuels our mission. Check with your HR department to see if your company participates—your gift could go even further than you imagined.
