INVESTING
Your prayers and financial investments are taking us beyond aid to spiritual transformation among people in Lebanon. You are making far more than a donation; it’s an investment given with the expectation of a return. The meaning of the word invest perfectly fits the heart of Heart for Lebanon; our heart is to honor our investors by adding value to what God has placed on their heart while remaining accountable to each one in how we steward their resources.
Every prayer and dollar count. Those partnering with Heart for Lebanon are investing in discipling the future leaders of Lebanon and the Middle East, building a life on the values of a Biblical world view, so that each person can return to a nation and a people group God has placed on their heart as totally devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Invest with Us

Make a Will
Making a will allows you, as a godly steward, to make decisions for the benefit of your family and to follow the Lord’s leading with all He has entrusted to you. A will can leave a lasting legacy for those you love and want to inspire.

Invest Through Securities
You can make a bigger impact by donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to Heart for Lebanon. Compared with donating cash, or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction. For example when you donate stock to Heart for Lebanon, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value. This type of giving enables many people to give more than they otherwise could have by reducing their ordinary income taxes and avoiding capital gains taxes.

Invest From Your IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you can give your required minimum distribution (or any amount up to $100,000) from your IRA as a tax-free rollover gift. Many donors also give from their IRA at their passing, designating Heart for Lebanon as a beneficiary; such gifts avoid income and death taxes.

Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle created to manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families, or individuals. You can participate in our donor-advised fund by donating cash, stocks, or non-publicly traded assets such as real estate, private business interests and private company stock. You will also be eligible for an immediate tax deduction.
