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.

“[Before coming to the Ranch], I described my life as simple ‘existence.’ I was not living; I was simply breathing. I had no job, no money, no degree. My family had been torn apart by divorce, and all of my friends had deserted me. Suicidal thoughts began; I felt that I would rather die than go through one more day. My heart was crying, screaming, for a reason to live. God heard my cry. He reached down…plucked me out of my darkness, and brought me to the Ranch."
- Sean, former student

GIVE TAX-FREE FROM YOUR RETIRMENT 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.
