Funding Your Stewards Fund Account
There are a number of ways to make contributions into your Stewards Fund Account.
1. Give Electronically
You have the option to initiate a transfer (wire or ACH) from your bank, or you can provide us with your bank information, and we will debit your account. Funds received in our bank account on or before December 31 are considered charitable gifts for the current year.
($500.00 Minimum)
OPTION 1: INITIATE A TRANSFER AT YOUR BANK (PDF)
OPTION 2: HAVE BARNABAS FOUNDATION WITHDRAW FUNDS (FORM)
2. Appreciated Security Gifts
(Publicly Traded Stock, Bonds, Mutual Funds)
Gifts of appreciated assets are generally the most tax-efficient way to give. We will provide our instructions for transferring shares to Barnabas Foundation. Upon receipt of the shares, we will liquidate them and credit the proceeds into your Stewards Fund.
3. Send a Check
Contribution checks written to “Barnabas Foundation” can be mailed to our office at any time during the year. For year-end gifts, your check needs to be POSTMARKED on or before December 31 to be considered a gift for the current calendar year.
