Planned giving impacts generations. We deeply appreciate donors whose gifts that began several years ago, are still helping to sustain Mission Network today. When you make this long-term investment in us, you help ensure that God’s work through Mission Network’s programs, partnerships, and personnel will have an enduring impact. 

Planned giving is not for the financially wealthy only. Anyone, no matter what assets they have, through thoughtful planning can give a gift which will be a blessing and provide sustainability to Mission Network. Together, we can help individuals and congregations to recognize, develop and fulfill the ministry calling that God has given to them.

Farm commodities – This special opportunity for farmers allows the proceeds from sales of grain, livestock, or even honey to go directly to Mission Network. The gift is not recognized as taxable income for you. Additionally, you can deduct the cost of production of the donated commodity.
