Other ways you can donate:

It is our goal that 100% of your donation go to doing the good work at Family Fest. The best way to do this is to make your donation by check. We have found that online donations sites such GiveMN Give to the Max and Razoo will take up to 4.9% of your donation before it gets to Family Fest. To donate by check, please mail to Family Fest, Inc., 140 West 98th Street, STE 206, Bloomington, MN 55420.

EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) Monthly Donations

If you prefer to give an automatic monthly donation, simply click here to download the EFT Automatic Withdrawal form. Your donation will be processed on or around the 10th of each month.

Pledges

You can make a pledge to donate monthly, quarterly, yearly, or whatever works best for you. This is a wonderful way for you to contribute on a planned basis. It also is very helpful in our budgeting process.

Donate Stocks

Donating appreciated stocks and securities to Family Fest, instead of writing a check, can offer you a tax-efficient alternative way to support Family Fest Ministry. By donating your appreciated stock, you will escape any capital gains taxes you would have paid if you had sold the asset. In addition, you can deduct the current market value of the gift for income tax purposes, just as if you had made a cash donation. For more info, check out this article on giving stocks.

It is simple to make a donation of stocks or securities to Family Fest. Contact Family Fest and we will send you the account number and the DTC number needed for the transfer.

Let us know when you have made the donation and Family Fest will send you a donation acknowledgment letter, stating the fair market value of the gift at the moment it is transferred to our account. This letter can be used for tax-deduction purposes.

Family Fest is a registered non-profit organization in the State of Minnesota, and has tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. For your information, our Tax ID number is: 41-1985709

If you would like further information about ways to financially support Family Fest, please contact Family Fest's Executive Director at 952.881.0939 or pete@familyfestministries.org. Please consult your own legal and financial advisor about the income, gift and other tax consequences of making a charitable stock donation.

Matching Gifts

If you work for an organization that has a matching gift program, you could double the size of your donation to Family Fest. Many companies will match not only gifts from current employees, but also gifts from retired employees, spouses or members of their board of directors. Check with your company regarding its matching gift policy. Your Human Resources Department should have most of the forms that you will need to make a matching gift to Family Fest.
