WAYS TO GIVE

GIFT OF CASH, BANK ACCOUNTS, CERTIFICATES of DEPOSIT, BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS

  • One of the easiest and most common ways to support North Waveland is with a gift of cash. Outlined are a few flexible options for consideration:
    • A cash gift can be made by check, credit card or money order – this form of contribution ensure that our most immediate and urgent needs are met.
    • a payable on death (POD) account is also accepted. A POD /TOD bank account or certificate of deposit names one or more persons or charities as the beneficiary of all funds once you, the account owner, pass away. The beneficiary you name has no rights to the funds until after your lifetime. Until that time, you remain in control and are free to use the money in the bank account, change the beneficiary or close the account.
    • A transfer on death (TOD) account. By placing a TOD designation on your brokerage or investment account, that account will be paid over to one or more persons or charities after your lifetime.
