General Fund

The General Fund is used to support the full range of ministries at Blackhawk Church – from Sunday services to facility care, classes and programming for all ages, benevolence, local and global outreach, etc. The General Fund budget is the primary way we pursue our mission. Your unrestricted gift to the General Fund makes a difference by investing in the work God is doing in and through the Blackhawk community.

Debt Reduction

Many are new to Blackhawk in the last several years and stand on the shoulders of those who gave sacrificially to build growing ministries. We want to continue to provide others with the opportunity to participate in building on that foundation for the future. This fund is used exclusively to accelerate debt reduction.

Stock
To give appreciated stocks and mutual funds and avoid capital gains, provide the information on this form to your investment provider. They will work with you to donate the securities to Blackhawk Church’s brokerage account. Please return the form to Blackhawk Church at [email protected] so that Blackhawk Church can match transferred securities to the donor and determine the designation of the gift (i.e. General Fund, Debt Reduction Fund).
IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions
Blackhawk accepts Qualified Charitable Distributions. A Qualified Charitable Distribution or QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA payable directly to Blackhawk Church. A QCD can be counted toward satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution for the year. Consult with your tax and/or investment advisors for applicability.
Estate Plan
One of the greatest gifts you can provide to ensure that the mission continues is by making a planned gift through your estate. A planned gift provides a financial foundation that enables the future ministries of Blackhawk for generations to come. For more information contact Darren DeKeyser at [email protected] or 608.828.4200.
