NOTICE: Recent tax legislation allows those 70 ½ years of age and older to make charitable gifts for 2010 from IRA’s through January 31, 2011.
Employer Gift Match- Some business corporations have an established foundation with a gift-match program where employees can donate to a charity and the employer foundation will match the donation to some extent. Contact your employer’s HR Department to inquire if such a program is an option for you, as an employee, to have your donation to Teen Challenge matched through an employer foundation.
Major Event Sponsorship- Teen Challenge schedules several annual fund-raising and promotional events throughout the year, such as: auctions, golf tournaments, banquets, concerts, and the annual Celebrate festival. Your business or organization could sponsor or co-sponsor one or more of these events and benefit from advertising and recognition at the event. For more information contact Public Relations at: (717) 933-4182, ext. 228.
Vehicle and In-Kind Donations- The donation of a motor vehicle can benefit the ministry of Teen Challenge and may be a tax advantageous way for the donor to dispose of the vehicle. Donations of useful tangible items (office supplies, food items, toiletry items, lightly used furniture or adult clothing, etc.) will off-set necessary expenditures in our annual budget and/or directly benefit our students in the program.
