Donations to CFA's Endowment Fund are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address the immediate needs of the organization, while the remaining income is reinvested to ensure indefinite support. Consequently, when you donate to CFA's Endowment Fund, your gift has both immediate and long-term benefits.
Contributions to CFA's Endowment Fund can be made by anyone, either through the quick donation methods (if you use method, please let us know you want your donation to be direted to the Endowment Fund), or by joining CFA's Legacy of Caring programme.
The Legacy of Caring programme has been established to recognize those individuals who contribute to CFA's Endowment Fund in one of the following ways:
1) Planned gift: a charitable donation that is integrated into a donor's financial, tax, and estate plans.
2) Estate bequest: a gift of assets, such as money or property, that is made through a will or trust.
3) Gift annuity: a contract that provides the donor with a fixed income stream for life in exchange for a sizeable donation to a charity.
4) Charitable trust: allows one to donate assets to a chosen tax-exempt charitable organization or nonprofit and comes with certain tax benefits.
5) A charitable gift of life insurance: a way of donating to a charity in which you buy a life insurance policy and name a registered charity as the beneficiary.

A virtual adoption is a way to support an animal's needs without physically adopting the animal. It is particularly useful for people whose life circumstances don't allow for the actual adoption of an animal. You will receive relevant updates about your animal, and you are always welcome to visit your adoptee in Coimbatore.
CFA supports traditional payment options like check payments, wire transfers and direct deposits.
