Giving Options
Because violence is predictable, we know it is preventable. With your help we can transform the lives of thousands throughout the greater Grand Forks region and beyond. The work we do to change lives and end violence is only possible because of the generosity of people like you who are committed to our mission and invest in our services.

Make a ONE-TIME GIFT
You can choose to give to our general fund or make a tribute gift in memory or honor of a loved one.
BEQUEST
Consider a bequest to CVIC in your will or revocable trust, designate CVIC as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account, or name CVIC as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Gifts by bequest make an indelible impact on those we serve and may provide tax benefits for you and your family.
Gift of STOCK
Consider this option if you have stocks with large gains and receive a double tax benefit by deducting the full fair market value of your securities and also avoid capital gains. To ensure successful stock transfers, please contact us early so we can provide you transfer instructions to ensure your gift is credited in this tax year.
Fund an ENDOWMENT
A gift to CVIC’s endowment provides an enduring way to give back and change lives today, tomorrow and forever. The principal is invested each year and a portion is used to support clients receiving services. Your endowment gift may also be eligible for a North Dakota State Income Tax credit.
IRA Rollover
If you are over 70 1/2 years old, you may roll over up to $100,000 per year from your IRA to CVIC before the end of the year and avoid taxes on the transfer amount. Your rollover gift may also meet the required annual minimum distribution. Please consult your tax adviser to determine if this is the best giving strategy for you.
Client Emergency Fund
Your donations to the Client Emergency Fund help families with urgent needs such as medical, transportation and housing resources.
Contact us to discuss the impact you want to make for families in need.
