You may have already begun your Christmas shopping, but have you considered how to enter into the “Spirit of Giving” this upcoming Christmas season? Here are three ways to participate in the life-giving ministries of the Friars:
Giving Tuesday
After Thanksgiving and “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday”, consider supporting the Friars’ life-saving ministries on “GivingTuesday” (the Tuesday following Thanksgiving).
Donor-advised Funds
A Donor-advised Funds benefits both you and the Friars through prudent investing. When you designate the Friars as a charitable recipient, you’ll receive an immediate tax benefit. Your donation will be invested by your financial institution and the Friars will later receive a donation that has grown over time due to that investing. You can find out more about donor-advised funds and how to give to the Friars in this way here.
