MONETARY giving – Macomb & BUSHNELL campusES
When you give toward the Macomb or Bushnell Campus, you play a vital role in helping teens know Jesus. A lot of the teens who attend Campus life do not come from a background of faith, and most of them have a very rough home life. Our job is to love these kids and show them the love of Jesus through our actions. You can help spread the Gospel by helping us with your monetary monthly gift.
You can make a donation through PayPal, by mail, or by setting up automatic payments through your bank. Please make checks payable to “Youth for Christ Western Illinois” and mail them to us at 1224 Maple Ave. in Macomb, IL 61455.
GIFTS OF STOCK
If you would like to give gifts of stock or mutual funds, please contact Jordan Pounders, CFP at Edward Jones in Macomb, IL, where we have an account already set up. His number is (309) 837-2704, or you can email him at jordan.pounders@gmail.com.
Gifts of crypto
You can donate cryptocurrency through the YFC Foundation. They will process your donation and send the proceeds to our chapter. Simply visit this page to get started: yfcfoundation.org/give-crypto.
GIFTS OF GRAIN
If you farm, you have a unique opportunity to maximize your giving to YFC. Would you consider giving a load of grain to YFC? When you transport the grain, to your elevator, simply ask them to apply that load to the Youth for Christ account. The value of that load is excluded from taxable income on your Schedule F, resulting in zero federal, employment tax owed on this commodity. Contact us at (309) 833-3026 to find out more!
GIFTS OF PROPERTY (Vehicles, Real Estate, & more)
Your stuff can make an impact! Our YFC Foundation makes it easy for you to support our local YFC chapter in so many creative ways: including gifts of vehicles, real estate, business interests, personal property, unused gift cards and more.
Please start your gift online through YFC Foundation, and please—when asked to choose your designation, choose IL-Western Illinois. YFC Foundation handles the transfer, pick-up, and receipting; allowing our staff to apply your gift to what we do best — reaching kids here in our community.
