INVESTMENTS The Revocable Deposit Agreement
A Revocable Deposit Agreement is a combination of investment and planned gift. It is especially designed for donors and investors who wish to put their money to work effectively to benefit themselves as well as their favourite charities. CSS pays the donor interest on the Deposit at a rate equivalent to the earnings of the CSS restricted portfolio less 1% for administration. The donor will receive up to fifty percent (50%) of the calculated earnings each June and December. The remaining interest earned will be distributed to the charities that the donor has selected.
The donor retains ownership of their deposit and can have it returned upon 30, 60, or 90 days’ notice. The funds on deposit are invested primarily to enable Christian organizations to meet their capital needs through mortgages and loans. Due to the long term nature of these investments, Deposit Agreements are only for those intending to deposit the money for a number of years. >Learn more
