Giving

• The General Fund exists to receive donations and pay for normal ongoing ministry operations across all Kettlebrook ministries and locations.  This fund also supports our Reach Local Partners.
• The International Mission Fund exists to receive donations and give support to our Reach Global partners.  This fund is reserved for Reach partners, grant recipients, and short-term mission trips outside the U.S.
• The Benevolence Fund benefits our community of people in need.
• The Apostolic Fund provides for the larger Kettlebrook family to be a launching pad to take the name of Jesus where it is not known both locally and globally.
• The Campus Fund exists to receive donations and to make capital expenditures to acquire, upgrade, or improve Kettlebrook’s current or future physical assets such as buildings or equipment.
• The Christmas Eve Offering fund (available during the Christmas season) is a fund designated yearly by the REACH Global team to support a specific project and/or partner. 100% of this fund is given to that year’s designee.
• Other funds may be available as well.

Donors can contribute liquid assets such as cash, checks, stocks and mutual funds. You also have the option to transfer non-liquid assets to Kettlebrook. You can contribute “innovative gifts” such as real estate, business interests, restricted securities, loan notes, estate gifts, retirement plans, life insurance and personal property. Donors generally receive immediate tax deductions while avoiding some capital gains taxes. For more information or to give, please contact Sue Cole, Director of Administration & Finance.

The Kettlebrook Finance Committee provides oversight of all financial decisions along with the Council of Elders, who by constitution, have final responsibility.  A designated Treasurer is specifically responsible for the proper reporting, handling, and accuracy.
