More Ways to Help
Support Servants Center financially!
We rely on contributions from
individuals, churches, corporations, and foundations
for over 75% of our operating budget.
Servants Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity and accredited by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
Your contributions are tax-deductible.
Support Servants Center using your Donor Advised Fund (DAF).
When you give through your Donor Advised Fund you are making a charitable donation and also investing in the lives of the people we serve. As a 501(c)(3) charitable tax-exempt organization, Servants Center is eligible to receive donations from your Donor Advised Fund. Servants Center is available as a choice in The Barnabas Foundation and The National Christian Foundation, and is eligible for other DAFs as well.
If you are interested in establishing a Donor Advised Fund, please contact us. We would be happy to talk with you about it.
For your DAF grant, you will need:
-our official name (Servants Center)
-our tax ID (38-3354045)
-our mailing address (P.O. Box F, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49501).
You can also help continue the mission of Servants Center after your lifetime by naming us as a beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund.
Simply contact your fund administrator to explore your options.
Support Servants Center with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA.
You can satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) while helping those in need. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a distribution of funds from your IRA (other than a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) directly to a qualified charitable organization, such as Servants Center. Because the gift goes directly to a charity without passing through your hands, the dollar amount of the gift may be excluded from your taxable income up to a certain maximum amount annually, with some exceptions. QCDs can be made by owners of eligible IRAs who are age 70-½ or older.
Consult your tax advisor and your financial institution to see if a Qualified Charitable Distribution is right for you.
Support Servants Center by Donating Stocks and Mutual Funds.
Donating shares of stock, exchange traded funds, or mutual funds is a great way to support Servants Center. A gift of stock may provide more benefits to you than a cash gift. When you gift stock to Servants Center, you eliminate the capital gains tax that would be due upon selling the stock, resulting in tax savings for you while also supporting our mission. A gift of stock may be right for you if:
1. You are holding stocks that have risen in value. If your stocks are highly appreciated, you may find yourself with a tax bill when it comes time to sell. By gifting your stock, you can avoid the capital gains tax on any paper profit.
2. You would like to maximize your deduction while not affecting your liquidity. If you decide to make a gift of stock, you not only retain your cash assets, but you also receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock that you’ve owned for more than one year.
Servants Center is able to receive gifts of appreciated securities. If you are interested in that, please contact us. Consult your tax and financial advisors to see if donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds is right for you.
