“I’m aggravated that charities don’t work together. I love what each of them does, but it seems to me that they’d be so much more effective if they’d just work together—and it would sure make it simpler for me to write just one check.”

This is a relatively common annoyance for donors. Thankfully, an increasing number of Christian organizations and nonprofits have started to link arms to share funds, join strategies and make a greater impact on the world. American Bible Society is one of these organizations.

How can American Bible Society’s Kingdom Endowment Fund help support your favorite charities?

Through American Bible Society’s Kingdom Endowment Fund, you can consolidate all of your favorite charities into one endowment account. Here’s how it works:

• You open a Kingdom Endowment Fund with a minimum of $50,000, funded by major and planned gifts.
• You create a list of charities you would like to support, in addition to American Bible Society.
• 50 percent of your endowment payout supports American Bible Society’s mission to equip all people to encounter the life-changing message of God’s Word. The remaining 50 percent supports the additional charities on your list.
• For up to 40 years, American Bible Society will support your favorite charities with half of your endowment income.
• When 40 years have passed, American Bible Society uses 100 percent of your endowment income to strengthen its eternal mission.

How can your Kingdom Endowment Fund impact future generations?

By opening a Kingdom Endowment Fund, you can ensure future generations have access to Scripture, all while supporting your favorite charities for decades to come.

After 100 years of a payout from your endowment—funded with $100,000—you can expect to:

• Gift $100,000 to your favorite charities in the first 40 years
• Gift $100,000 to support American Bible Society’s mission in the first 40 years
• Gift $300,000 to support American Bible Society’s mission in the next 60 years

In essence, American Bible Society will perpetually replicate your pattern of Christian stewardship, even after you pass away. Interested in getting started with a Kingdom Endowment Fund? Visit our “Contact Us” page to connect with an Advisor from American Bible Society.
