Gifts of Real Estate: DC may accept gifts of real estate after a review of the property. The review would include: marketability; restrictions on the sale of the property; liens, costs of liquidating the property; appraisal.
(DC will not accept real estate gifts that involves restrictions as to timing and to whom the property may be sold to.)

Gifts can be made through Life Insurance Policies:
Donors can make DC both the policy owner and the beneficiary If the donor does not continue to pay the premium; DC may elect to continue to pay the premium and receive the full face value of the policy or surrender the policy for its present cash value.

Matching Gifts:
Many corporations have a matching gift program that encourages employees to think philanthropically by matching their charitable gifts. Matching gifts can potentially double or triple a donor's gift. The impact is tremendous. Check with your Human Resources department to see if your employer has a matching gift program and to obtain a matching gift form.

Endowment:
The endowment enables DC to provide financial aid for families and salary enhancement for our employees. Because of the vision of several leaders, DC has been blessed with an endowment of over $4 million. The principal stays intact while the investment interest income provides needed support annually. Opportunities are available to establish scholarship funds.
