Donate for the Future

“Peace I leave with you;  my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

Good stewardship relies on good planning. There is no “one size fits all” plan. Sharing the blessings you have received with loved ones and ministries like Wheat Ridge involves learning about the options and working with professionals to shape the best plan for you.

Whether it’s a Charitable Bequest through your Will or Trust, a gift of Retirement Plan Assets or a Charitable Gift Annuity, we want to help!

IRA Charitable Rollover Extended for 2013!

Don’t miss this opportunity! Congress extended legislation through December 31, 2013 that allows donors ages 70-1/2 and older to gift up to $100,000 from their IRAs to charity. It’s easy to make a gift by directing your custodian to transfer a portion of your required minimum distribution directly to charity. The gift is not counted as part of your taxable income, so it is tax-free!

Here is a brief summary of the details:

  • Your gift can be any amount up to $100,000.
  • Your gift can count toward your minimum distribution.
  • You must be age 70-1/2 or older.
  • You must make a direct rollover, not a personal distribution.
  • Your gift will help provide new life in Christ through Wheat Ridge Ministries.

For more information on including Wheat Ridge Ministries in your Will or estate plan, please contact Holly Harrison Fiala, Vice President of Advancement at 800.762.6748.
