From committing to praying daily for the young people we serve to giving financially or donating food, there are many ways that you can take part in what God is doing at New Creations. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at any time to explore how you can partner in the miracle taking place at New Creations.
Ways you can give
Gifts of Cash by Check or Credit Card
The most popular way to financially support New Creations is through a gift of cash. How much does a cash gift normally cost you? Depending on your tax bracket, the actual cost to you can be considerably less than the face value of your gift. (Ex. The net cost to a donor of a $1,000 cash gift in the 28% tax bracket is only $720.00.) For every gift given we will provide you with a receipt showing your tax-deductible donation given by cash or check.

Gifts of Appreciated Property
Another alternative to a cash gift is a gift of property. With careful planning, a gift of property (appreciated securities or real estate) will provide even greater tax benefits to the donor. The donor saves twice: first, by receiving a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift and second, through avoidance of capital gains tax. Please contact us if you are interested in this type of gift. We can help you maximize the benefits of a gift of appreciated property for both you and New Creations.
Gifts of Materials and Food
We have a long history of resourcefully using donated materials, food, used equipment, etc. in our ministry.
Trust Agreements: Life Income Arrangements for the Larger Donor
Donors with considerable assets may want to consider one of the many trust arrangements through which they can provide a gift to New Creations. This can be designed to meet your needs-whether for tax-savings or tax-free income, fixed or growing income payments, a permanent or a revocable agreement. Furthermore, a trust can be created during your lifetime or through your will.
Why have a will? A will is a vehicle through which you – and not the government – decide how your assets are distributed after your death. (When an individual dies without a will, the state is responsible for deciding how your assets are distributed.) While most people with family responsibilities choose to leave much of their assets to family, naming New Creations as beneficiary is an excellent way to support this ministry.
For example: The Lee & Keitha Wilson Charitable Remainder Unitrust
In April 1995, Lee & Keitha Wilson made an important and long-lasting commitment to New Creations. By setting up a Charitable Remainder Unitrust, the Wilson’s not only responded to their own need for income during retirement, but also made an important and long-term investment in the future of New Creations and the youth we serve.
Why Did the Wilson’s Choose this Option?
“Once you have been to New Creations, once you have seen the children, once you have met Tim and Bonnie, once you realize their dedication and calling, you will see that it is hard not to get involved, it is hard to be here, if you have any heart at all, and not be drawn into this place. I feel very confident that there are many people with resources who are frustrated and don’t know how to find an outlet for helping young people, if they become acquainted with New Creations and this ministry, there is no doubt…they will want to help!”

Life Income Plan
Christian Stewardship calls for a balance in our lives, which includes both service to others and responsible planning for our own future. If you are approaching retirement (or are currently retired), you are obviously concerned about security and having enough income to live on.
