8. Terms of Donation

Nehemiahs Walls International Church Inc. is a non-profit organization, recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are deeply grateful for your support and are committed to stewarding the resources you entrust to us with integrity and faithfulness.

Tax-Deductibility of Your Donations: Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. As we are a qualified 501(c)(3) organization, your donation generally qualifies as a charitable contribution.

Donation Statements: We will provide you with an annual giving statement summarizing your contributions for your tax records. This statement will be sent no later than January 31st of the following year. For any single donation of $250 or more, we will provide a written acknowledgment that includes the amount of your contribution and a statement that no goods or services were provided in exchange for the donation, if applicable.

Designated and Undesignated Gifts: We welcome both designated and undesignated gifts.

• • Undesignated Gifts: These gifts are directed to the general fund and will be used to support the overall ministry and operations of Nehemiahs Walls International Church Inc. as determined by our leadership.

  • Designated Gifts: You may designate your gift to a specific, board-approved ministry or project. We will make every effort to honor your designation. However, in the event a project is over-funded or cannot be completed for reasons determined by the board, the board retains the discretion to redirect the funds to be used where most needed.

"Quid Pro Quo" Contributions: If you receive a tangible benefit (a good or service) in exchange for your contribution (e.g., tickets to an event, merchandise), the tax-deductible portion of your donation is limited to the amount of the contribution that exceeds the value of the benefit you received. We will provide a good-faith estimate of the value of any benefits provided to you in our written acknowledgment.

Non-Cash Donations: We accept non-cash donations, such as marketable securities and other assets. Please be aware that for any non-cash donation, it is the donor's responsibility to determine the fair market value of the item for tax purposes. For contributions of property valued at more than $5,000, you will be required to obtain a qualified appraisal.

Legal Disclaimer: This section is intended to provide general information about the terms of donations. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional legal or financial advice. We encourage you to consult with your own legal counsel or financial advisor for advice on your specific situation.
