But don’t just take our word for it …
Hear testimony from Tim and Kathy Bush, a ministry partner couple that had been searching and trying to figure out their plans for several years before journeying with Cru Foundation. Now they feel a sense of peace and that a burden has been lifted off their shoulders.

And the benefits for you and your family include …
- Meeting personal and family financial goals and safeguarding relationships.
- Reducing or eliminating taxes.
- Effectively transferring the right assets to the right people and organizations.

- Provide a second professional opinion on your current estate plans and affirm the supporting documents are in place to meet your goals.

- Evaluate — The process begins with a preliminary call with a Gift & Estate Design Specialist to help us understand your needs, wishes and current situation.
- Discover — View our Basic Estate Planning Guide, download and complete the Confidential Estate Inventory (approximate figures are adequate for this purpose), and then return the completed form to our team. If you have questions, please email us at info@crufoundation.org or call us 800-449-5454.
- Influence — Together with a Gift and Estate Design Specialist, you craft an estate design to unlock the hidden value in your estate to provide for your family, minimize taxes and share the gospel—now and into the future.
Our Estate Design Service does not create or review legal documents, like your will, trust or power of attorney. We do not replace the role of your attorney or CPA. Instead, we help you create a user-friendly blueprint that makes you “attorney-ready,” saves you money and keeps you in control of the conversation. You’ll receive a professional document with helpful charts that make the complicated easy to understand.
The families who benefit the most from our service are those who have one or more of the following characteristics:
1. Have a strong desire to give to the kingdom
2. Have non-cash assets that may be available for giving
3. Have retirement assets
4. Own a business
5. Have the time and commitment to implement their plans
