FCS The Fund for Christian Service

Methods of Giving

Donations by check
Contributions made by check should be mailed to:

The Fund for Christian Service
1309 Canopy Oaks Drive
Minneola, FL 34715-5692
USA

"Bill payment" through your bank
To send funds directly from your banking institution to The Fund for Christian Service, you can use your bank's "bill payment" option.

Use the mailing address above for the payment address. If you wish to make contributions automatically, most banks allow you to set up a regular payment every month.

Donations by credit card
To send funds by credit card, you can phone The Fund for Christian Service to arrange for payment.

You may also make a credit card contribution through PayPal.

Non-cash gifts
You may own things that you no longer need, but they still have value and could be used directly in some area of the Lord's work. Perhaps these could be put to a good use now rather than being a liability for you. FCS can receive gifts of:

automobiles
stocks
bonds
coin and stamp collections
land
buildings
homes
estates
insurance policies that are no longer needed (depending on type)

and so on. We are willing to consider any gift of value. Sometimes we can get items directly to a needy person/project; at other times, we can sell the items and distribute the proceeds. Please discuss a special gift with us before donating it to FCS.

For US donors, appreciated items like stocks and personal property can be valuable gifts and may cost you less than giving cash. You can avoid paying capital gains on the increased value of the gift and get a tax deduction for the full market value. You may wish to sell depreciated items on your own and take whatever capital losses are available before giving the proceeds. Contact us for the best ways to give such items. [Note: FCS does not provide certified financial advice; you may wish to consult your tax advisor before making a contribution.]

Wills and trusts
You may remember FCS in a will or trust by advising your attorney of your wishes when you prepare or update those documents. Please be sure to list our proper name, including the Minneola, FL, address above. You may specify either a set amount or a percentage of your estate. We will be happy to provide specific details for you.
