| Shamineau Ministries relies on the generosity of its
faithful financial partners. Unless
specifically designated, gift monies are applied
toward four areas:
1) subsidizing of operational costs
2) camper scholarships
3) capital projects
4) financial initiatives (debt retirement,
endowments, etc.)
All donations are tax deductible. Donors receive
tax documentation with giving history, return
envelopes for future giving and opportunities to
participate in the "Director's Alliance." |
Shamineau Ministries is a 501(c)3
organization. Gifts to our organization are
tax-deductible to the fullest extent of current
laws. All financial gifts are deposited directly to
the Shamineau Ministries general account for use in
its various programs and projects as needed. If you
wish to support a specific ministry, please indicate
your desires with your gift, or phone us at
800-305-8118.

Gifts can be made in a
variety of ways: |
|
|

Gifts of Personal Property
Shamineau Ministries has greatly benefited
over the years by individuals who have
donated items to our camps. If you

contact Herb Bloomquist at 1-800-305-8118 or
email here. A list of our current

Wish List.

Gifts of Securities
Usually, when people think about supporting
an organization financially, they
immediately reach for their checkbook.
However, a gift of appreciated securities
may be a better option.
Our current tax
structure can be very favorable to a gift of
appreciated stock. A gift of stock is
deductible for the Fair Market Value and tax
on the gain is bypassed. This will
help to reduce the amount of cost associated
with making the gift and also allow you to
give a greater amount.
According to the IRS,
gifts of capital gain property can be
deducted up to 30% of your adjusted gross
income. Amounts not used can be
carried forward a total of 5 years.
|
| |
Gifts of Real Estate
Real estate can be a practical and
beneficial gift. Certain plans allow
for you to give your home now, benefit from
the tax deduction, and continue to live in
your home. Upon your death, the
property will go to Shamineau Ministries for
its benefit. Gifts of real estate
(homes, farms, and other real estate assets)
can complement your overall plan, enhance
your security now and in the future and
honor the Lord. Please call
1-800-305-8118 or
email here for more information.

Planned Gifts
There are a number of ways to benefit
Shamineau Ministries through your estate
plans. There are several different
options available, each providing different
benefits. We would love the
opportunity to discuss with you the various
options as you seek the appropriate plan.
We will work with you and your advisors to
find a gift plan that meets your specific
charitable and financial goals and
objectives. Plans may include:
|
| |
|
|
Bequest or
Trust Designation
The most common type of planned gift
is a bequest from your will or
Living Trust. You have the use
of your assets during life, and
provide a gift to Shamineau
Ministries upon your death.
|
| |
Gift
Annuities
For seniors, the gift annuity is a
popular plan. It provides a
lifetime income, much of which is
tax free. You receive a
charitable deduction for a portion
of the annuity in the year it is
established.
|
| |
Trusts
There are several types of trusts.
We can provide information about both
revocable and irrevocable trusts.
Many choose to establish trusts as
part of their estate plans to meet
financial and charitable goals, save
taxes and provide for loved ones.
|
| |
Gifts of
Life Insurance
You may name Shamineau as the
beneficiary of a life insurance
policy. If you also name
Shamineau as the owner, you would
receive a tax deduction based on the
cash value of the policy, and future
premium payments would be tax
deductible.
|
| |
Retirement
Accounts
Individual Retirement Accounts
(IRAs), pension plans, and other
retirement savings plans may be
utilized for charitable giving.
These plans may provide estate tax
benefits. |
