Planned
Giving
|
You choose
how you wish to proceed. You may wish to contribute
appreciated stock or an annuity or some other asset.
This is typically done through revision of your will.
McIntosh Law Firm is handling the details for us at
little or no cost to you. Two things to keep in
mind:
1) If you have moved here from another state, your will
may not be legal. So a revision may be in order
2) Revising your will
is preferable to adding a codicil which may get lost or
destroyed. |
Major
Gift
|
You may
wish to make a major gift now because you believe in the
ministry and its work. Gifts starting at $5000 fit this
category. We can add permanent recognition for some
program in your memory or to honor someone of your
choosing. In certain circumstances, we may be able to
expand into new program areas through your gift. Call us
to discuss. |
Corporate
Grant
|
Corporate
gifts can range from cash grants to support a particular
program to in-kind services or products (see
below).
For example, you may wish to financially support our
outreach to couples or minority churches.
Or you may wish to provide equipment such as computers
or office supplies to help the cause. Either type of
help is appreciated--and needed! |
Upgrade
Your Giving Level
|
Consider
your current contribution level and prayerfully consider
upgrading to a higher level. |
Renew
your contribution
|
Sustainability
is the goal of any non-profit mission. By authorizing
annual renewal of your contribution (or responding to
our annual drive), you are ensuring ongoing financial
support to keep our programs available with minimum
fund-raising expense. |
Pledged
Giving
|
This is
your act of faith in our mission. It is not a contract,
it is a promise to give as you are able on a sustained
basis. There is a pledge form at the bottom of this page
or you can do it online. It is easy to make a monthly
credit card contribution of any amount you choose. This
spreads out your expense over the year and assures Men
in Balance of ongoing support to carry out program
goals. |
In-Kind
Contribution
|
Goods or services contribution from your company or your
personal resources (see wish
list). Always needed are
technical items, printing and mailing equipment, postage
or advertising space.
For example, you can
dedicate a portion of your advertising space to Men in
Balance or loan an administrative assistant to help with
a mailing.
|
Program
Support
|
Funding a specific program of Men in Balance. If you
like what we are doing, you might want to take over
financial support of a particular program (or help us
initiate others).
You could choose, for
example, to underwrite the outreach to young boys,
or inner city churches, or couples outings--all of which
support our cause.
|
Regular
Contribution
|
Any amount you wish, cash or credit card. Simply go to
the contribution page and fill it in or mail your check
to the address below. You can also charge your
contribution by credit card. |

can help others, please join in the cause. You can mail
