Donation FAQs – Supporting The Christian Center
Can I choose where my donation goes?
Yes. You can choose to support either our General Mission or The Well, our Women & Children’s Shelter.
Use the dedicated donation link for The Well to give directly to that program. If you use our General Mission link instead, your gift will help fund meals, the men’s shelter, chapel services, outreach, and daily operations.
Either way, your generosity makes a real impact.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. The Christian Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. You’ll receive an email receipt for your donation that can be used for tax purposes. Our EIN is available upon request.
How do I make a recurring donation?
On the donation form, simply select the option to make your gift recurring Monthly (at the top of the form). Recurring donors help us plan ahead and respond to needs consistently throughout the year.
Can I donate in memory or honor of someone?
Absolutely. Use the note field in the donation form to let us know who your gift honors. If you’d like us to notify someone about your tribute, feel free to include their contact information.
Where does my donation go?
Your gift helps us provide daily meals, shelter, counseling, case management, and spiritual care for those experiencing homelessness or crisis in Anderson and Madison County. A portion of each gift goes toward program support, and we work hard to ensure funds are used efficiently and transparently.
Can I give items like food or clothing instead of money?
Yes! We accept in-kind donations of gently-used clothing, household goods, and hygiene items.
Can I donate through my workplace or employer match program?
Yes. Many companies offer matching gift programs. Contact your HR department to see if your employer participates. If you need documentation from us, just let us know.
Who can I talk to about planned giving, estate gifts, or larger donations?
We’d be honored to talk with you about legacy gifts, bequests, or corporate sponsorships. Please contact our office, and someone from our team will follow up with you personally.
