This post applies to Cru readers, but all are welcome to learn from it.
I recently updated our give.cru.org site after going to the Smarter Generosity seminar at Cru25. If you attended this seminar or any of the webinars on Workvivo, you might appreciate some guidance on how to include smarter generosity on your give site.
Update Your Give Site for Smarter Generosity
Steps for Updating Your Give Site
Go to my previous post, Update Your Give Site for Your End-of-Year Ask. This post has all the steps for editing your give.cru.org site. It also has a link if you need help resizing your photos.
Follow all the steps in that post.
Open our give.cru.org page if you need an example and add the following in your text:
Have you ever considered giving in the most tax-smart way?
Many generous partners like you are discovering how to maximize their kingdom impact—not just for Cru, but also for their local church and other ministries—without ever touching their checking or savings accounts.
Here are three powerful ways to give smarter:
Stock Gifts – Avoid capital gains and give more.
Donor Advised Fund – Streamline your giving with tax efficiency.
IRA Giving (age 70½+) – Reduce taxable income while advancing the gospel.
Cru Foundation is a ministry of Cru designed to serve you with strategic, tax-smart giving solutions at no cost to you. Their mission is to help ensure more of your generosity fuels the Great Commission, not taxes. For more tax-smart ways to give, find more information at More Ways to Give.

Help your friends! They might not read eQuipping for eMinistry. Think of one or two staff, check their giving site, and then share this blog post with them. Staff give sites are an essential part of our MPD toolkit.
