We have recently added a new giving option that can be used for donations of appreciated assets, such as stocks, bonds, and securities as well as normal cash gifts. We have established an account with The Generosity Trust in Chattanooga, a Christian charitable gift management service, whose stated mission is: "The Generosity Trust advances the cause of Christ by magnifying the joyful generosity of Christians." Several of our SM Bible Church members use this organization to handle and administer their charitable giving. The best part is that it is very easy for donors, as the Generosity Trust staff handles all the details for us. Here are the basics:
1. Check – Send check to The Generosity Trust at 345 Frazier Avenue, Unit 205 Chattanooga, TN 37405. Please put Signal Mountain Bible Church and any special category on the memo line.
2. Link to Generosity Trust online giving is below:
The Generosity Trust - Use this link and it also can be bookmarked for future use. This option allows donors to choose bank draft (ACH) or credit card. Approximate fees are: ACH fee 1%, and credit card fee 3%. The ACH option includes space for the donor to specify the donation's purpose.
3. Stock or securities – For these gifts, Please contact Jennifer Sheffield at The Generosity Trust for assistance and more information. (jennifer@thegenerositytrust.org) Jennifer can assist you with any questions you may have on any of these options.
