What Charities Want You To Know With Connie Hougland
Faith & Finance with Rob West
God’s Word frequently encourages us to be generous. As we’re encouraged to give, we should also encourage the ministries receiving our gifts. It’s a partnership. Connie Hougland of the National Christian Foundation tells us how to do that.
God’s Word frequently encourages us to be generous. Luke 6:38 is a good example. It reads, “Give, and it will be given to you. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” As we’re encouraged to give, we should also encourage the ministries receiving our gifts. It’s a partnership. Connie Hougland of the National Christian Foundation tells us how to do that. Connie Hougland is Vice President of Ministry Services for the National Christian Foundation and has been with NCF for 20 years, sitting in a unique position between givers and the ministries or charities that receive those gifts.
Encouraging ministries lets them know that you not only care about what they do but about the leaders themselves.
As we invest our money in God’s work, givers need to remember that with charities there are also administrative costs and overhead to pay.
Have a giving strategy, not just a money-making one. National Christian Foundation helps people to develop this so that they can be wise stewards of all they have.
How does the NCF giving fund work? It’s similar to a charitable bank account. You put resources in (cash or non-cash), you receive your tax deduction, and then you use those funds to meet your charitable objectives.
