Your gift makes healing possible

Each year, we give well over half a million dollars in direct student tuition scholarships. We are committed to creating a path for each young person who is a good fit for our program.

Ways to give

Non-cash gifts
Appreciated stocks and mutual funds, jewelry, vehicles, and real estate are all gifts that can support the ministry.​​
​

Give tax-free from your retirement account 

If you have to take the Required Minimum Distribution, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to give from a tax-deferred retirement account (like an IRA) directly to a nonprofit ministry. The amount given via the QCD bypasses your personal checking account and so reduces your income and also your tax. Ask your financial institution to mail you a check made out to Christian Encounter, which you can then pass on to us. We will send you a contribution statement for your records.​
​

Honor a loved one

A memorial or honorarium gift is a meaningful way to celebrate someone important to you.

Planned giving 

Planned gifts are typically intended to leave a legacy by the donor.  While they can be gifts of cash or securities, more typically planned gifts are in the form of will bequests, charitable trusts and gift annuities.
