How to Give

How to Give

The staff of The Foundation will work with you to match the way to give that best fits your current circumstances. We can help you create planned gifts through your will, your insurance or retirement policies, or with a payable on death account. Those who prefer a stream of income now with a gift to ministry after their lifetimes could consider a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder unitrust. We are here to help you consider the many possibilities of giving to fund transformational ministry. Please contact us for information on any of the gift models below or to consider the possibilities of other ways to give.
