About Us - Cru Foundation

Empowering you through gift planning and estate design.

Invest in the Kingdom of God Like Never Before

We exist to help you invest in building the Kingdom of God now, during retirement and beyond your lifetime.

The Cru Foundation is a ministry of Cru / Campus Crusade for Christ. We enable ministry partners like you to support Kingdom work for the long term. You can learn more about Cru here.

If you want to give to someone other than Cru, we can still help. We’ll work with you to send your gift to other Christian ministries as well.

Our team of experts will help you navigate through the sometimes difficult world of planned giving.

You Can Trust Our Proven Track Record

At The Cru Foundation, we’ve been helping people fulfill their financial and ministry goals since 1972. We’ve helped ministry partners plan more than $1 billion in charitable gifts through our estate design process.

You can trust the money you give will be used to build God’s Kingdom. 100% of any gift goes directly to ministry.

We hold ourselves to the highest levels of Christian stewardship as members of the ECFA.

Explore Gift Planning and Estate Design Tools Beyond a Will or a Trust

A will or a trust is an important document, but it’s nothing if you haven’t thought through your values and priorities. We want to help you do just that.

If you decide to make a gift after going through the planned giving process, we can help you with:
