Make a Difference

Union Christian Academy welcomes gifts of all types, and will work with you and your financial advisors to maximize your tax benefits and the value of your gift to the school.

Cash
Cash is the simplest, most direct, and most popular type of charitable gift to Union Christian Academy. A gift of cash is tax deductible and because of that fact, the net cost of the gift to the donor can be much less than the actual amount of the gifts. To make a gift of cash, please mail your check, payable to:

Union Christian Academy

Fort Smith, AR 72904

Tax Identification Number: 62-1713323

Stocks or Bonds
Your broker can transfer securities to Un ion Christian Academy or send signed stock certificates by certified mail to the Development Office. Please contact us for more information.

Planned Gifts
Union Christian Academy offers several planned gift instruments including life income gifts and bequests.  Please contact the Development Office for more information.

Real Estate or Tangible Personal Property
The school accepts gifts of real estate, allowing you to make a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property. Union Christian Academy can also elect to accept gifts of tangible personal property, and will provide the donor with a tax deduction for the appraised value of the gift on the date the gift is made.

If you own property that has appreciated substantially in value, find out how estate planning that includes a nonprofit institution like Union can reduce the tax burden on your estate and potentially generate income for you and your heirs. By viewing this as God’s asset, you can increase the value of your estate by almost 200 percent and still do great work for the Kingdom. Please contact us for more information.

Matching Gifts
You can often double or even triple your gift to Union Christian Academy with matching funds provided by your employer. Check with your company’s personnel office or contact us to learn if your company offers a gift matching option.
