2) Where do my donations go? 

Answer: Donations to Empowerment Church support either its General Operating Fund or Special funds. The General Operating Fund makes possible the day-to-day ministries and services of the ministry. While, periodically opportunities to designate a donation to a specific ministry initiative become available. Project Hope, Empowerment Mentoring, and Back2School Blessing are three examples of ministry-initiative funds with specific start and end dates.

 

3) How does Empowerment Church uphold financial accountability?

Answer: "We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of others." 2 Cor 8:20-21

 

Empowerment Church is committed to honoring God’s provision by exercising wise and faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability to ensure the financial integrity of Empowerment remains above reproach. We accomplish this through a system of internal controls and an internal budgeting and reporting process.

 

5) Can I make a non-cash contribution?

Answer: Yes, many people find creative ways to make contributions to Empowerment through non-cash gifts. Here are a few options to consider:

  • Stocks and mutal funds: You will receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of your securities at the time of donation, and you will pay no capital gains tax on the difference between your cost and the fair market value. Fill out the appropriate form below, send a copy to your broker to authorize the transfer, and send a copy to Empowerment letting us know how you want the funds applied:

  • *Gift of Stock-Electronic *Gift of Stock Certificate *Gift of Mutual Funds

  • Car donations: Empowerment is developing a ministry that specically will be committed to meeting transportation needs of people who are unable to meet those needs themselves. When you donate your used car to the this ministry, you receive a tax deduction and someone in need of transportation receives the reliable transportation they have been praying for.

  • Other: Other giving options include life insurance, retirement assets, bequests, and charitable gift fund donations. For additional information, contact us at giving@empowerment.church
