Mike and Sus Schmitt

We have a growing family with three married children, Ben, Josh, and Jenn. (Sus, by the way, is pronounced “Sooz”, but to our eight grandchildren, we are “Nana“ and "Papa.") We’re also blessed to watch God ministering to His people in a small church group we lead.

Reaching the World through Technology

Even though our day-to-day work is with computer systems and the Internet, what we really help do is resource our staff as they touch the lives of individuals in 190 countries with God's Good News.

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.
