Kinds of Gifts


Gift - for use where needed

If you put an amount in this box, your gift will go to support Luther Heights Bible Camp's ongoing work in the ways it is most needed in the year ahead.

Gift - Friends of Luther Heights (FLH)

A gift amount in this box indicates you desire to identify yourself with the network of generous people who have pledged a gift of 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 - Jon Francis Scholarship Fund

A gift amount in this box will be directed toward Luther Height's scholarship program - Jon Francis Scholarship Fund. We want no one to stay away from camp because the camp fee is beyond their means. Donors who direct their gift here want specifically to help young people participate in the Luther Heights programs, 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.

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 email message to to provide needed explanation, or call our office at 208-886-7657.

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 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 email message to detailing the information we need to list and notify correctly.
