General Ministry Donation
Our ministry relies on gifts to the General Ministry Fund to cover the operating costs of Living Hope International and Esperanza Viva Youth Homes. While our sponsorship program provides for a portion of the children’s immediate needs, those funds are not used for administrative and operating costs. General fund gifts are necessary for the daily expenses of our work with the children, and we rely on these donations to keep the ministry functioning well.

Many employers have programs in place to match the charitable contributions of their employees. Whether a partial match, or dollar-for-dollar, the impact of these contributions is significant and may be already available to you. Ask your employer about it today!
Offer Matching Fund Gifts
Doubling your gift by challenging others to step up to match is a proven method to involve others in a gift you are willing to give. Whether you find the match or we assist in this, the result can be significant and encouraging.
Gifts in Kind
With a broad scope of facilities and consumable costs, your gift will be put to use and benefit the ministry. We will handle the logistics of your gift from towels to tools, land to vehicles, hardware to software.
Entrepreneurship
We believe in the “win, win, win” approach to cottage industry. We are interested in services or franchises that serve the needs of the ministry, enable those involved and generate revenue.
Planned Giving
Consider how you can make a gift with lasting value. These are the perfect gifts to ensure your assets continue to bless others beyond your time on earth. These gifts include a variety of options including Gifts that Pay Income, Gifts During Your Life, and Gifts Upon Death. These gifts ensure future generations will benefit from your generosity and legacy.
Stocks
Transferring gifts like stocks or bonds, is an easy way for you to help us in our mission.
- You receive an immediate tax deduction for the full market value of the stock.
- Tax savings! Donating stock allows you to avoid the capital gains tax you would owe if you cashed in the securities.
- Donating stock directly to Living Hope International–versus selling and donating the proceeds–can often reduce the cost of your gift by 50% or more.
It is a great way to protect these assets by gifting them to LHI.
