Depending on your clients’ individual situations, it may be wise for them to make inter vivos (lifetime, current or outright) gifts to GCF. Others may choose a deferred gift option. In any case, a number of decisions must be made in order for your clients to take full advantage of GCF’s products and services.

Donors who want to establish a charitable fund by making a gift during their lifetime must start by selecting the fund type that meets their needs. More details are available in the section "Outright Gifts."

Some deferred gifts (charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities) provide donors or their designees a life income stream from the gifted assets. "Deferred Gifts" provides more information about the benefits of making such a gift to GCF.
