We have been sustained for over four decades by the generous gifts of God’s people. There are a variety of ways to support our work. Every gift, no matter the size, is needed and appreciated.

• One-Time Gifts

• Partner With Us Monthly

  Our monthly Ministry Partner Program provides reliable, continued support through recurring donations to maintain and expand our ministry impact.

• Gifts of Securities

  By donating shares of appreciated securities, you may realize significant tax benefits while making a sizeable contribution. To facilitate your gift, please contact our Gift Planning Officer by emailing stewardship@ligonier.org or by phoning 1-800-220-7636 ext. 1182. Read more below.

  Gifts of individual stocks or mutual funds that have increased in value allow friends to generously support the Ligonier mission while receiving significant tax advantages at the same time. If you decide to gift securities you have held for more than one year, not only will you receive a charitable deduction for the full value of the shares on the date of transfer, but you will avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the donated shares.

  As the IRS has granted Ligonier charitable tax-exempt status, we are not required to pay taxes on the sale of securities we own. That means that your gift has maximum impact on all those who rely on our resources to mature in their faith and Christ-likeness.

  Stock gifts can be easily made however you hold the shares – by certificate or by direct electronic transfer from your brokerage account. Should you decide to support Ligonier this way, we want to ensure a smooth transaction and process your gift accurately and in a timely fashion. To facilitate your gift, please contact our Gift Planning Officer by emailing stewardship@ligonier.org or by phoning 1-800-220-7636 ext. 1182.

• Giving Through Your IRA

  The IRA Charitable Rollover is now permanent. This tax provision allows owners of individual retirement accounts who are 70½ or older to make gifts from their IRA directly to non-profit organizations. Applied against the required minimum distribution, an individual may donate up to $100,000 of IRA assets each year to Ligonier Ministries or other charities without reporting the withdrawal as taxable income. Read more below.

  <

  What does this mean to you as a supporter of Ligonier Ministries?

  It allows for direct charitable gifts to be made directly from IRAs. You may make gifts to our outreaches from traditional and Roth IRA accounts without any federal tax liability, as long as the gifts are “qualified charitable distributions.” You may not take a charitable deduction for this donation, but distributions are not included in your adjusted gross income and will qualify for all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution.

  Requirements for “qualified charitable distributions": 

  • IRA holder must be age 70½ or older at the time of gift
  • Gifts will qualify for all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution
  • Gifts are tax-free up to $100,000 per year
  • Gifts must be outright gifts made directly from your IRA to a charitable organization
  • Distributions to donor-advised funds or support organizations are not permissible
  • Distributions may only be made from traditional IRA or Roth IRAs, not 401(k) or 403(b) plans

  To make a donation from your Individual Retirement Account, you will need to provide our EIN #25-1298611. Then have your plan administrator send the gift directly to:

  Ligonier Ministries
  421 Ligonier Court
  Sanford, FL  32771
  Attn: John Petersen, Director of Ministry Advancement

  If you have questions about this or would like to donate to Ligonier Ministries using other appreciated assets, please contact our Gift Planning Officer by emailing stewardship@ligonier.org or by phoning 1-800-220-7636 ext. 1182.

• Support Our Capital Campaign

  Here We Stand is our first capital campaign in nearly forty years of ministry.

  Launched in late 2008, the funds from the Campaign for Ligonier Ministries have established a new campus for Reformation Bible College and Ligonier operations. Continued gifts will be used to meet the needs of our growing student body by providing a student learning center to include a library, additional office and classroom space, and café. It is also a priority to retire the mortgage on this property to release operating funds for greater ministry outreach.

• Legacy Giving

  Several gift planning options are available. The right one for you depends on your particular circumstance.

  You may choose to give by including Ligonier in your will or trust, through your retirement plan, IRA, or life insurance, by naming Ligonier as the beneficiary of a bank or investment account, or through gifts that provide income and tax benefits. We are happy to confidentially discuss which plan works best for you, and even provide complimentary consultation with a Christian estate attorney through our partnership with Barnabas Foundation. Please call 800-435-4343 or email us at stewardship@ligonier.org for more information.

• Gifts In-Kind

  We occasionally receive gifts such as automobiles, real estate, coins, jewelry, or other donated items of value. Please contact the Ministry Advancement Office by emailing stewardship@ligonier.org when considering such a contribution.

  Thank you for considering supporting Ligonier in this way.

Whatever method you choose, thank you for supporting the work of Ligonier Ministries. We are committed to the highest standards of stewardship of the funds you entrust to us.
