Where it is needed most
The board puts it to work in the division with the greatest need, and the Treasurer reports where it went.
Give
Put your gift to work where you choose.
Free Scripture for every reader, mentorship for young people in Jacksonville, and congregations caring for their own. One gift to Redeemer Forge, Inc., spent on the work you pick.
Giving opens soon. It opens once the corporation’s bank account and its Florida charitable-solicitation filing are in place. Until then, nothing is charged.
- Spent where you choose. A gift marked for a division is spent only on that division.
- Your card stays private. It is entered on Stripe’s secure page and never reaches us.
- Monthly, on your terms. Change or stop a monthly gift at any time.

Two signatures for any payment over $1,000; board approval for any spending over $2,500 or any contract longer than a year.

The corporation’s money is never mixed with anyone’s personal funds or with another organization’s.

The Treasurer presents a report of the year’s income, spending and balances to the board every year.
Questions
Before you give.
Where does my gift go?
To Redeemer Forge, Inc., the one legal entity behind all three divisions. If you choose a division, your gift is recorded in your own words and spent only on that division. If you choose “where it is needed most”, the board directs it.
Can I claim this gift as a deduction on my federal taxes?
Not at this time. Redeemer Forge, Inc. has not yet applied for federal tax-exempt status. We will say so on this page the day the IRS recognizes it, and not before.
Is my card information safe?
You enter your card on Stripe’s own secure payment page. Your card number never reaches Redeemer Forge.
Can I change or stop a monthly gift?
Yes, at any time. Write to us and we will change or stop it. There is no minimum term.
Will my name be shared?
Never sold, never traded. If you keep your gift private, your name appears on nothing we publish.
Can I give another way, by check or through my church?
Yes. Write to us and we will send you the details.
