Non-Cash Gifts

A Meaningful Way to Support Cross Oak Camp & Retreat Center

In addition to traditional financial gifts, Cross Oak Camp & Retreat Center is grateful for non-cash gifts that help further our mission and support the work happening on campus. These types of gifts can provide long-term impact and, in many cases, meaningful benefits to the donor as well.

Non-cash gifts are typically facilitated in partnership with the Nazarene Foundation, which helps ensure gifts are structured properly and stewarded with care.

Types of Non-Cash Gifts

Appreciated Assets

Gifts of appreciated assets—such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—can be a tax-efficient way to support Cross Oak. Donating appreciated assets may allow donors to avoid capital gains taxes while making a charitable contribution.

Real Estate

Donating real estate can be a powerful way to support ministry. This may include:

  • Residential property
  • Commercial property
  • Land or farmland


In some cases, real estate gifts can be structured to provide ongoing income or other benefits to the donor while supporting Cross Oak’s mission.

Planned & Legacy Gifts

Planned giving allows donors to make a lasting impact beyond their lifetime. Common options include:

  • Bequests through a will or trust
  • Charitable gift annuities
  • Charitable remainder trusts


These gifts can provide long-term support for Cross Oak while aligning with a donor’s personal and family goals.

Other Non-Cash Giving Options

Additional non-cash giving opportunities may include:

  • Retirement assets
  • Life insurance policies
  • Business interests


Each situation is unique, and options vary based on personal circumstances.

How to Get Started

Because non-cash gifts often involve financial and legal considerations, Cross Oak Camp & Retreat Center works closely with the Nazarene Foundation to help donors explore options and determine the best path forward.

We encourage anyone interested in non-cash giving to review the Nazarene Foundation’s detailed resources and connect with their team for guidance.
