Donate by Donor Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund is a private fund administered by a third party and created for the purpose of managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, a family, or an individual. Chapelwood UMC and the Chapelwood Foundation are already setup with many donor advised funds to receive recommended gifts/grants. If your fund does not currently have Chapelwood UMC setup, please contact Colleen Lingle and information can be provided to the fund manager.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers will match your gifts. While some will not match gifts for religious purposes, they may match gifts to the Fair Haven Food Pantry, the Year-Round Manna program, or Disaster Relief fund. These programs help people in need with no religious requirements. You will need to contact your employer to request a matching gift. Please contact Colleen Lingle if you need information to provide to your employer.
