GENEVA thrives because so many people give generously of their time and money to support the ministry.
YOU CAN JOIN US IN MINISTRY
Your support of Camp Geneva keeps camp affordable and makes it possible for ALL kids to come, regardless of financial situation. Please consider a gift to help us connect kids with Christ. Some of the ways you can give include the following:
Donate Online: Please click on the link above.
Company Match: Many employers will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Check with your HR department if you are unsure if your company matches donations.
Stock Transfers: Gifts of securities, real estate, or other assets which have increased in value can provide a significant tax benefit to the donor. Please contact the development office for our DTC and account number.
Planned Giving: Naming Camp Geneva as a beneficiary in your will or a life income contact are vehicles that can have a significant impact on the future of GENEVA while still giving you access to your funds while you are alive.
IRA Distributions: We anticipate the IRA Charitable Rollover will be extended which allows you to donate the mandatory distribution from your IRA without paying taxes on that distribution.
Gifts In-Kind: If you are interested in donating supplies, equipment or other in-kind gifts, please refer to our wish list or contact the development office.
For 2011 tax year contribution credit, credit card or other transactions must be completed or checks postmarked by December 31. Please contact Kevin VanderKlok, Director of Development, with questions or comments regarding the ways of giving listed above - kevin@campgeneva.org or 800-805-0808.
