SOM International partners with Barnabas Foundation to offer our supporters complimentary planning services and assistance with complex gifts.

Since 1976, Barnabas Foundation has helped thousands of individuals and families give more effectively to the ministries close to their hearts.

Barnabas Foundation will help you…

  • Identify the best giving options available to you, in a way that is clear and easy to understand.
  • Ensure your will reflects your personal and charitable goals.
  • Give stock, real estate or other non-cash gifts while reducing your taxes.
  • Make gifts that provide you and your family with income for life.
  • Streamline and simplify the process of giving to multiple ministries.

Giving Stock, Real Estate, or Other Assets

You may be able to increase your potential impact –and reduce your taxes – by giving non-cash assets.

Examples of non-cash assets:

  • Stock or marketable securities
  • Real estate
  • Business interests
  • Farm commodities
  • Tangible personal property

Gifts From Your IRA

Individuals ages 70 ½ and older can make a sizable gift from an individual retirement account (IRA) to SOM International and receive significant tax benefits in return.

Gifts in a Will

By including charitable giving in your will, you model to your loved ones a legacy of generosity. You also help ensure SOM International continues to make a difference well beyond your lifetime.

Gifts That Pay You Income

Lifetime income gifts are wonderful solutions for Christians who wish to give in a substantial way, but are concerned about having enough retirement income. You can give cash or other property, and receive steady income for the rest of your life. The remainder will benefit SOM International.
