Giving

When they left to tell oth­ers about the Lord, they decid­ed not to accept help from any­one who was­n’t a fol­low­er. We must sup­port peo­ple like them, so that we can take part in what they are doing to spread the truth. 3 John 7–8, CEV

Every gift mat­ters! Your finan­cial part­ner­ship helps young men and women both come to faith and grow in faith at Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty, and then launch forth to serve God in the cul­ture and in the Church.

The bulk of our fund­ing comes through recur­ring month­ly and annu­al dona­tions from friends of the min­istry. The remain­der comes from spe­cial gifts (year-end dona­tions, church offer­ings, sup­port from unex­pect­ed occa­sions such as an inher­i­tance, bonus or pro­mo­tion). Because Chi Alpha is a non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion, all gifts are tax-deductible.

Donate With Your Credit Card

Giv­ing online is the eas­i­est way to make a dona­tion. Gifts to this account go to our gen­er­al mis­sion­ary fund, which is admin­is­tered by the Assem­blies of God.

Other Ways To Give

There are a num­ber of oth­er ways you can give:

• Send A Check
• Des­ig­nate Your Gift
• Make a Gift of Stock
• Give via a DAF (donor-advised fund)
• See If Your Employ­er Match­es Char­i­ta­ble Dona­tions
• Include Us In Your Will

Giving With A Check

If you pre­fer to write a check, make it out to The Gen­er­al Coun­cil of the Assem­blies of God (although hon­est­ly just Assem­blies of God will do) and write Glen Davis #2650299 in the memo field (putting the account num­ber in the memo field is very impor­tant as there are over 300 Chi Alpha groups). If you intend to make a recur­ring dona­tion, please also print and send in this form with your first check (small PDF, around 100k).

Mail your con­tri­bu­tion to

Assem­blies of God

Spring­field, MO 65802–1894

Designate a Gift

If you pre­fer to des­ig­nate your gift for a spe­cif­ic pur­pose, you can spec­i­fy how you want your gift used at https://tithe.ly/give?c=4877608 — gifts to this account are han­dled direct­ly by our min­istry and so your end-of-year giv­ing receipt will come from us direct­ly and not from the Assem­blies of God.

Gifts to this account are used for direct min­istry expens­es unless des­ig­nat­ed oth­er­wise.

note: we used to have what was called a “work account” (689146) with the Assem­blies of God that you might have giv­en to in the past. We closed that in ear­ly 2021 because of increased fees, so that’s why you can’t find it at giving.ag.org now.

Making A Gift Of Stock

A gift of stock owned for more than one year enti­tles you to a char­i­ta­ble deduc­tion for the full mar­ket val­ue at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appre­ci­at­ed, you also avoid a cap­i­tal gains tax on the appre­ci­a­tion.

You can read the Assem­blies of God Stock Dona­tion Let­ter or fol­low the direc­tions below.

If the stock you hold is in a bro­ker­age account, you can eas­i­ly arrange a trans­fer to our bro­ker­age account.

Please also con­tact us to let us know you are mak­ing the gift. You can email us at chialpha@stanford.edu or call (650) 353‑7740.  Oth­er­wise, it may be up to sev­er­al weeks before we are noti­fied of your gift by head­quar­ters.
