Giving To KCH

Types of Gifts
Current gifts to Kansas Christian Home can be cash, life insurance or appreciated assets such as stock or bonds. You can also make a contribution through certain IRAs. For your convenience gifts can be mailed, completed online or by an automatic withdrawal from your checking account. (download form).

There are many commonly used items that KCH is happy to accept as a donation. Personal-care items, specialized furniture, craft supplies and several others. Gifts-in-kind are considered for a charitable deduction under IRS guidelines.

Kansas Christian Home is in partnership with Christian Church Foundation to offer Charitable Gift Annuities. Annuities allow you to receive income for your (and/or another beneficiary’s) lifetime. Then the remainder will become a gift to KCH to be used as you direct. If you would like more information on other types of philanthropic planning please contact Linda Hill.

Legacy of John
All gifts to Legacy of John benefit residents of KCH. Giving excellent care includes providing for the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of each resident. In the last few years, Legacy of John funds have made it possible to install a wireless call system and helped improve the appearance of the care center. Legacy of John gifts also underwrite the costs of Tilsley Manor where ministers, missionaries and church workers under certain financial guidelines, can live independently at reduced costs.

Endowment Funds

Legacy of John
This endowment is a permanent fund with earnings used for the purposes of Legacy of John. All gifts will be added to the principal, invested and managed by the Board of Directors.

Tilsley Manor
Gifts to the endowment are considered principal and earnings are used for maintenance needs of this special housing area.

Capital Fund
KCH is beginning a major project to provide the link between independent living and nursing care. The new Assisted Living Center will have 21 apartments; 11 one-bedroom suites and 10 studios. Each unit will have a private bath and a kitchenette. So often we have long-time residents who no longer can live independently but are not at the point where they need complete nursing care. These people have made a home here, their friends are here and then they have to leave to find assisted living care elsewhere. They not only face major changes but need to do it without the support system they have spent years building. Your gifts to the capital fund will underwrite construction costs of the Assisted Living Center, helping current residents and opening the home to new people.

You can also designate your capital gift to other projects such as carpeting, new kitchen or other approved projects.
