MONTHLY GIVERS
AN EASY WAY TO MAKE A POWERFUL IMPACT!
Monthly Sustainers provide consistent support with monthly contributions that are automatically deducted from their credit cards. The Sustainer program offers caring supporters an easy way to incorporate their support of Our Saviour’s programs into their monthly finances. Prefer an automatic deduction from your checking account? Call Joni @ 612-871-5900 ext:3.
To become a Sustainer, please visit our online donation page. Please select “I’d like to make this a recurring donation” in the “Gift Type” section of the form. As a Sustainer, you will retain complete control of your giving and may increase, decrease or suspend your contributions at any time.
MATCHING GIFTS
MAXIMIZING OUR CAPACITY FOR GOOD
One of the best ways to give is through a matching gift program, where your employer will match your donation -- often dollar for dollar -- which can double or triple your charitable-donation power!
Participation in this program is simple: just pick up a Matching Gift Form from your company’s Human Resources or payroll department and send it in with your gift. This is a great way to multiply the impact of your gift.
MAKE A PLANNED GIFT AND INVEST IN THE FUTURE
By including the Our Saviour’s Community Services in your estate plans, you connect your most deeply held values to a powerful legacy of hope. Your estate gift to OSCS helps us serve those who are poor and most in need, now and in the future.
Planned giving also offers you several benefits.
• You enjoy the tremendous satisfaction of seeing your gifts at work during your lifetime.
• You participate in choosing the charitable organizations you want to support.
• You may realize an immediate tax deduction.
• You can establish an income stream for yourself from your gift.
• Your estate may receive tax and other financial benefits at your death.
TRIBUTE AND MEMORIAL GIFTS
A tribute or memorial gift is a particularly meaningful way to honor or remember family, friends and colleagues. Our Saviour’s Community Services will send an acknowledgment card and promptly deliver it either to you or to the recipient you request.
TRIBUTE GIFTS
Tribute gifts can be given in honor of individuals or groups at any time, and are particularly popular for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and holidays.
DONATING STOCK
Donating appreciated stock can be a cost-effective way to make a gift to Our Saviour’s Community Services. If you itemize on your tax return, you may receive a charitable deduction for the value of your stock and may not have to pay capital gains on the appreciated value. To arrange to donate stock, please contact Sandy Aslaksen at 612-871-5900 ext. 1 or sandy@oscs-mn.org.
