Non-Cash Giving Methods At-A-Glance
Over the last year or so, Artists in Christian Testimony Intl (ACT Intl) has given you many helpful articles on how to maximize your philanthropic giving for God, specifically through Non-Cash Donations. The challenge is in presenting clearly the multitude of different non-cash options in one place, so that it is easy to keep track of all the different types of gifts and methods of giving.
In this month’s article we have included what we hope you will find is a helpful GUIDE in the form of a simple chart. It is easy to lose track of your giving options, as we have discovered that many donors are unaware of the variety of holdings that can be meaningfully donated. There may be more options through which you can make a significant financial impact on charities of your choice (like ACT Intl) than you think!
Since all non-cash donations take many forms and not all of them can be donated in the same way, The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation created this CHART to raise your awareness to the many Giving Options available to you.
As always, we encourage you to consult your accountant or financial advisor to see which method of philanthropic giving may be best suited for your asset situation.
A.C.T. Intl is in a period of unprecedented growth. Our 450 ministry departments and 700+ arts and other innovative ministry staff around the world are making a tremendous impact for the Kingdom of Christ. Our Global Mission Fund is also making significant strides toward outreach through our online seminars and seminary-level courses, our mentorship and coaching programs, and our ability to equip these Kingdom servants to more effectively and efficiently declare the Gospel of Jesus outside the bounds of the traditional church.
It is only through generous hearts of giving like yours that our ministry can be sustained for long-term growth. 70% of charitable giving is done through non-cash methods, and we want to extend this vehicle of giving to you for your prayerful consideration.
