Why We Give
As followers of Christ, generosity is part of our identity. Not only do we serve a generous God who abundantly cares for His children, but we are made in His image, and therefore, generosity is part of who we are, too. We are a generous people. Like God, we exist to give more than we get and to radically care for others. You might even say that generosity is even a fruit of being a free-in-Christ person.
There are many good and worthy causes out there. People with great integrity doing long-term impacting ministry where you can invest your time, talent, and treasure. We support many of those types of organizations, too.
We at Wellsprings of Freedom International would just like to ask you to prayerfully consider paying forward the blessing you have received by becoming a valued financial partner with us. Whether it’s ongoing support or a one-time contribution, every dollar given makes an impact. If the Holy Spirit prompts you to give, be obedient to His lead and find joy and peace in blessing others.
Where Does the Money Go?
We exist to offer freedom in Christ Jesus to a broken world. We help people find freedom, and we equip others to help people find freedom. That is who we are and what we do. And all of our financial goals and strategies work to propel this mission forward.
As a decentralized network with many teams, we own one humble building in Rock Island, Illinois. The building is paid off (thanks to the generosity of a donor), and all we pay on that facility is the usual utilities and upkeep. We have many streams of income that help to support WFI, but the largest of those streams comes from contributions, generous givers like you who make a difference.
Bottom line, the money, your investment, goes into people. It goes into new Network teams being established, current Network teams being coached, developed, and equipped. It supports current resourcing and future projects like translations of materials that will outlive us. Your investment is multiplied, and it happens as one person invests in another, and that person invests in others, and so on.
This short video will give you a glimpse into all that happened in 2023 and where your money will go.
More Ways To Give
All contributions made to Wellsprings of Freedom International are tax-deductible.
Direct IRA Contributions
For those who are 70½, direct IRA distribution may be made to WFI. These gifts are sent directly to us from the custodian of your IRA. Such gifts do not receive giving credit, since they are a direct distribution, but they are not charged as taxable income and they count toward the minimum distribution requirement.
stock & Grain gifts
Stocks that have appreciated in value are best to donate directly to WFI since you receive giving credit for the full market value of the appreciated securities and avoid capital gains and the cost of selling the securities. (We are sorry that government issued bonds do not qualify for this program.)
For more information about grain gifts, contact us.
