It’s About Time for the Stewards Fund
4 Timely Reasons to Give Through a Christian Donor-Advised Fund
More and more supporters are giving to their favorite causes through the Stewards Fund, a donor-advised fund brought to you by Barnabas Foundation.
Like a “charitable giving account,” the Stewards Fund allows you to give cash, stock and other appreciated assets into a single online account. From there, you can recommend grant distributions to the ministries close to your heart.
Why is the Stewards Fund so popular? For many people, it’s all about time.
- Receive an immediate tax deduction at the time of your gift. Trying to beat the clock for end-of-the-year giving? As long as your gift is deposited by December 31, you can claim credit on this year’s taxes. Later, you can advise how to distribute the funds.
- Choose the timing of your distributions. Whenever you feel compelled to give, you can promptly direct funds to address real-time ministry needs.
- Save time-wasting hassles when giving stock, real estate, business interests or commodities. Barnabas Foundation will handle the liquidation of appreciated assets that you’d like to convert into cash for ministry, keeping things simple for you.
- Save time when giving to multiple ministries. Streamline your giving and record-keeping by gifting all cash, stock or other appreciated assets into a single account from which you’ll receive one charitable receipt.
Compared to other donor-advised funds, the Stewards Fund is aligned with your Christian values. When you give through the Stewards Fund, you can be sure that your gifts won’t be used in a manner in conflict with the truths of God’s Word.
What’s more, the Stewards Fund is also extremely customer-service oriented. When you call with a question or to request a grant, you will talk to a friendly, live person at the other end of the line, ready and eager to support you.
Plus, unlike other options, the Stewards Fund has no hidden fees or minimum balance to maintain.
