I have had the pleasure of being involved with the financial side of Cru's Campus Ministry pretty much since we joined Cru's staff in 1998. Now I serve as a Finance Analyst with the Campus Ministry, helping staff on their local campus teams, team leaders as they lead those teams, and Directors as they lead the team leaders. I spend my days coaching teams on how to use the funds God has provided for them to reach students, how to keep track of said funds, and how to plan for the future use of those funds, all while following Cru policies and procedures. A robust spreadsheet makes me smile, especially when it helps our staff who are working with students spend less time wrestling with the financial side of running a ministry. I also get to manage Cru's office in Downingtown (outside of Philadelphia). Nate and I like to spend our free time hiking (I like the short hikes - he is working on small sections of the Appalachian Trail) and enjoying our kids and our granddaughter.

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. Our mission is to help ensure more of your generosity fuels the Great Commission, not taxes. Click here to learn more and explore your options.
