Give
Generosity, at its core, is a lifestyle, flowing from the understanding that everything we have is a gift from God. We give because much has been given to us. As we seek to live out our vision, we are so grateful for your prayers and gifts of time, talent and treasure.
Give Online
Make a Gift Online via electronic check or credit card. Redeemer pays 1.5% to 2.5% of merchant fees for each credit or debit card gift with AMEX credit card gift on the upper end. Please consider using electronic check when making large gifts.
Stocks & Mutual Funds
You can donate appreciated securities - stock, mutual funds, bonds, ADRs (American Depository Receipts), and other 'property' - and often times receive a greater tax benefit than you would receive as compared to selling the appreciated securities and then donating cash. Please contact Priscilla Dewing (917-206-1427 or [email protected]) if you are considering this kind of gift so that we can understand how you would like this gift to be utilized and send you a tax receipt in a timely manner.
Bitcoin & Crypto
Current Redeemer members and attenders can donate bitcoin and other cryptocurrency through Coinbase, Bitpay and Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund. If you have a Coinbase account, and prefer to send your gift to Redeemer's Coinbase account, you can do so by sending a Coinbase gift to our email for Coinbase donations at [email protected].

Redeemer has found through experience that some credit card issuers may require your authorization to process your online gift. With the proper pre-authorization measures in place, we are able to accept gifts via Visa/Mastercard/Discover of up to $100,000 per single gift. Please contact us if you wish to make multiple Visa/Mastercard/Discover gifts greater than $100,000 in the aggregate. We are able to accept gifts via Amex of any amount.

Mailed checks which are postmarked by December 31 by the US Postal Service will be included in your tax deductible contribution statement for the year. Please note that IRS regulations require that checks sent through overnight carriers (such as UPS or FedEx) must be recorded on the date that the charity receives the check (rather than a postmarked date). So if you send a donation via UPS or FedEx (or any carrier other than the US Postal service), Redeemer must record that donation on the date the check is received, rather than the date the check is mailed.
