Types of Giving

Your generosity can take many forms. The Foundation for Awakening welcomes various gift types to help you maximize your kingdom impact while aligning with your financial goals. Whether you're giving today or planning for tomorrow, we're here to help you steward your resources strategically.

Gifts to the Principal

Build a lasting legacy by contributing to our endowment principal. These gifts are invested and preserved, generating ongoing income that funds ministry in perpetuity. Your contribution today creates a perpetual stream of support for next-generation disciples, clergy empowerment, church multiplication, and global partnerships. Principal gifts ensure that your generosity multiplies for generations to come.



Examples include:

• Cash contributions
• Appreciated securities
• Retirement account distributions

Estate Gifts

Include the Foundation for Awakening in your estate plans and extend your faithful stewardship beyond your lifetime. Estate gifts allow you to make a significant impact without affecting your current cash flow, while potentially providing tax benefits for your heirs. Your legacy becomes part of God's ongoing work of awakening.



Examples include:

• Bequests in your will or living trust
• Beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or investment accounts
• Charitable remainder trusts or charitable gift annuities

Property and Asset Transfers

Transform appreciated assets into kingdom impact. Donating property or assets directly to the Foundation can provide significant tax advantages while avoiding capital gains taxes. We accept a wide range of asset types and work with you to ensure a smooth transfer process.



Examples include:

• Real estate (homes, land, commercial property)
• Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
• Business interests
• Tangible personal property

Disbursable Gifts

Make an immediate impact with gifts designated for current ministry needs. Disbursable gifts provide flexible funding that addresses urgent opportunities and emerging needs across our four focus areas. These gifts are put to work immediately, fueling awakening today.



Examples include:

• Annual fund contributions
• Special project gifts
• Matching gift challenges
• Donor-advised fund grants
