Thank you for your generosity....
There are several possibilities when you make a gift to Christikon. If this is your first time making a gift online to us, please read through this information before you move to the next page to make your gift. We are grateful to utilize the resources made available by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans through their "Simply Giving" program. When you click on “Make Your Gift” below (or above), you will be taken to our secure web site. There you will be able to choose:
Gift - for use where needed. If you put an amount in this box, your gift will go to support Christikon's ongoing work in the ways it is most needed in the year ahead. Gift - CTC membership. A gift amount in this box indicates you desire to identify yourself with the network of generous people who have become members in the Christikon Trailblazers Club (CTC). People who are CTC members give at least $100 annually to the camp for its annual needs, either in a one-time gift or in periodic gifts throughout the year; and they pledge to consider similar giving in the year ahead. Gift - camp scholarships. A gift amount in this box will be directed toward Christikon’s scholarship program. We want no one to stay away from camp because the camp fee is beyond their means. Donors who direct their gift to Scholarships want specifically to help young people and developmentally disabled adults participate in the Christikon life, especially when their personal and family resources are not sufficient. Gift - camp improvements. A gift amount in this box will be directed towards improvements in camp facilities and/or purchase of necessary equipment for camp operations and the camp program. Other. You may direct your gift towards a special use other than those listed above, by putting an amount in this box, and then entering a brief description of the purpose to which you are directing your gift. Credit Card. You may use MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express. Electronic Funds Transfer. You may use the secure online form to authorize your bank to transfer funds electronically from your checking account or your savings account. Automatic monthly gift. Thanks to the "Simply Giving" program of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, you may even authorize a monthly donation to Christikon using either your credit card or an electronic funds transfer from your bank. If you would prefer to make such an authorization off-line, click here to download a Simply Giving form, in Microsoft Word format, which you may fill in on your computer, print out and sign, and mail to us at Christikon ● 1108 24th Street West ● Billings, MT 59102-3810; or you may fax the form to us at 406 656-1969. Gifts “In Memory Of” or “In Honor Of” Someone If you would like part or all of your gift listed as in memory of a loved one, or in honor of someone special: Choose the designation you want from the drop-down box, and then type in the name of the person you are memorializing or honoring in the appropriate box near the bottom of the form. If you are honoring an occasion (anniversary, wedding, birthday, etc.) utilize understandable abbreviations as necessary (for example, “wdg: FirstName LastName/FirstName LastName”). Or, if the information doesn’t fit in the boxes well, or needs further clarification, you can always send an e-mail message to us to provide needed explanation, or call our office at 406 656-1969. If you would like us to send an acknowledgement of your memorial or honorary gift to a person or family: Type in the contact information in the “Please Notify:” boxes. If you would like to list more than one designated memorialized or honored person: We will be happy to acknowledge additional memorials or honorees. Since there is only one box for the name of someone to be memorialized or honored, and the available space is limited, it would help insure that we get our newsletter listings accurate (and send acknowledgments to the appropriate people) if you would divide your gift, and make two gifts (or the number needed), each with just one name. An exception to this might be something like: “In memory of John and Jane Smith.” We apologize for the extra time making additional gifts will take; but we do want information to be accurate. Or, you may make a single gift online, and then send an e-mail message to us detailing the information we need to list and notify correctly; or you may call our office at 406 656-1969. Do you hold a policy or other product with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans? If so, you can extend the reach of your gift. Through its GivingPlus program, Thrivent will match half of any gift you make, up to the maximum gift size of $600. You may utilize the GivingPlus program for two Thrivent-listed organizations, such as Christikon, during any calendar year. The Thrivent GivingPlus application form needs to reach us by the end of the year to qualify your gift for 50% matching. Click here to obtain the GivingPlus Application form in .pdf format. You can then print it out, complete and sign it, and mail to us at Christikon ● 1108 24th Street West ● Billings, MT 59102-3810; or you may fax the form to us at 406 656-1969. Or you may send an e-mail message to us, or call us at our office at 406 656-1969, asking us to mail the application form to you. Ready to make your gift?
