Gifts of Stock
& Securities

Donating appreciated publicly traded stock, bonds, or mutual fund shares is a highly tax-efficient way to support Red Bird. By transferring securities directly to us, you can typically avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation and claim a charitable deduction for the full market value.

Please contact us to receive our current brokerage transfer instructions and DTC number.

Named Endowment
Gifts

An endowment is a sustainable investment in Red Bird’s future. The principal gift is invested, and a portion of the annual earnings is used to fund core programs permanently. Establishing a Named Endowment Gift allows you to honor a loved one or cement your own family legacy while providing reliable, long-term operational support.

Creating an endowment is a deeply personal journey. Our team is available to help map out a fund structure that aligns with your philanthropic vision.

Planned Giving (Legacy & Estate Gifts)

By including Red Bird in your estate plans, you ensure our vital work continues for generations to come. Legacy giving costs nothing today but makes a permanent impact tomorrow. Options include:

  • Bequests: Name Red Bird as a beneficiary in your will or living trust.

  • Retirement/Life Insurance: Designate Red Bird as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy.

We invite you to contact us confidentially to discuss how you can establish a legacy of hope.

Families and clergy share how Red Bird Ministries has touched their lives and ministries.
