The Great Commission Vision Fund
The ministry projects you support are dependent upon the prayers and contributions you give on their behalf. Now, The Great
Commission Foundation of Campus Crusade for Christ offers you an opportunity to create a fund to assure that your support will
continue beyond your lifetime.
Establish a Vision Fund
You can now make a contribution to Campus Crusade for Christ that keeps on giving. Through the Great Commission Vision Fund,
your special cash or stock gift of $5,000 or more, or a real property gift valued at $30,000 or more, can uniquely help us to
fulfill the Great Commission. Your contribution will help reach people in every walk of life and in every nation of the world.
How it works
The Great Commission Vision Fund is a special fund created by Campus Crusade for Christ for the purpose of putting your
contribution to long-term use.
Instead of using your contribution to pay for current expenses, it will be invested to generate income. The income will
be put to work in spreading the Gospel, and your contribution will be continually invested to produce more income indefinitely.
As a donor to the Great Commission Vision Fund, you will receive a full statement of the condition of the fund at least once annually.
Choose where you want to apply your gift
You may request the income generated from your contribution to be given to the Campus Crusade for Christ ministry project of your
choice. If you make more than one designation, each project will receive an equal share of the income from your contribution. The
fund manager will make every effort to grant your designation requests but retains the right to redirect the income at its discretion.
The Vision Annuity
We are excited to introduce a new concept that will provide several benefits for you as well as the projects you support.
The Vision Annuity pays you an income for life, and then the residual amount will continue to support your projects through the Vision Fund.
The Vision Annuity will give you a charitable deduction at the time of the gift. If funded with stock or real estate, you avoid the
lump sum capital gains tax. The annuity income is partially tax free.
How to Begin
Start your Vision Fund now.
You can place funds in a special account which will be managed to generate the monthly support for your ministry projects.
Start a Vision Fund through a will or trust.
Gifts from your estate are 100% tax deductible. We can help you determine how best to establish this gift.
Make gifts from highly appreciated assets.
Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate can be given at full market value. This creates a tax deduction and at the same
time avoids capital gains tax.
Make gifts from retirement assets.
Make the Vision Fund the beneficiary of part or all of your retirement accounts. The charitable gift avoids income taxes
that can reduce the value of retirement assets by 40%
Give existing life insurance policies.
Make your Vision Fund account the beneficiary of insurance policies which are no longer needed. If you have insurance policies
for the purpose of paying estate taxes, call us. We will show you how to avoid estate taxes and free up money for ministry.
If you would like to make a contribution to the Great Commission Vision Fund, please make it payable to The Great Commission
Foundation. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-449-5454.
By giving to the Great Commission Vision Fund, you are making a contribution that keeps on giving and leaving a legacy that
will fund Christian evangelism and discipleship for years to come.
