December is an important donations month for Desiring God as the amount that God provides this month is used to meet our year-end financial need and to guide our planning for the next six months. We are praying for $823,000 in donations in December and as of Wednesday morning we still need about $400,000 to meet that goal.
If God has placed us on your heart to help us meet year-end financial goal, and you want your gift to count for tax purposes in 2010, here's important information for you:
- Until 11:59 p.m. CT on Friday, December 31 you can give through Desiring God’s website. You can also join the 1% Campaign as a monthly or one-time donor.
- Until 4:00 p.m. CT on Thursday, December 30 you can give by calling Desiring God at 888-346-4700. NOTE: our office is closed on Friday, December 31st, so you will not be able to give by phone that day.
- Checks can be mailed to:
Desiring God
PO Box 2901
Minneapolis, MN 55402-2901
All checks postmarked on or before December 31 will receive a gift receipt for 2010 even if received and processed by Desiring God in early January. Checks with a December date but postmarked on or after January 1, 2010, by regulation are not considered donations for 2010, but for 2011.
- We also can accept gifts of stock and securities. Appreciated stocks provide particular benefits to donors.
- Depending on your cell phone carrier, you may be able to make a text donation up to midnight on Friday, December 31.
Thank you for prayerfully considering our finances. We trust God to supply every need of ours. It is a joy that he chooses to do so through so many of you!
