2.  Non-Cash Assets
Many people consider cars, boats, timeshares, jewelry, business
inventory, real estate, and other non-cash type gifts to help us reach
boys and girls, and their families too, for Christ.  An estimated 90%
of America's wealth is in non-cash assets, yet the vast majority of
churches and ministries receive less than 10% of their gifts from
these assets. Why? Because they're not equipped to accept non-cash
gifts. Through our foundation we can accept them, and we will work
with you to develop the best giving strategy for you and your family.
If done properly, givers can avoid or reduce taxes and maximize
giving.  Simply click the link below to learn more.  Select the appropriate non-cash asset on the left and then on the donations page choose the specific fund, "The U.S. Missionary Fund". Under the Brief Description type the Missionary’s name or account number.  Non-Cash Assets

3.  Your IRA
If you are over age 70 1/2, you may annually gift any amount up to
$100,000 of your IRA to your Awana Missionary.  It’s very easy to make
the gift by directing your custodian to transfer a portion of your
required minimum distribution directly to Awana.  This gifting
opportunity may expire after December 31, 2009.  For more information
simply click on the link:  Your IRA
