Ways To Give

Give Prayer

We believe in the power of prayer. We know that God hears us and love us, and we have seen His gracious & merciful provisions time and time again. Thank you for continuing to lift up the ministry of WFRN in prayer!

Give Time

We love our volunteers! There are opportunities throughout the year to assist with various projects, some regular (like summer landscaping) and some special (like remodeling/renovating). If you are interested in volunteering, fill out the form below to be added to the list, then watch your email for upcoming opportunities.

Give Money

There's no way around it - we need money to continue in ministry. God has graciously provided much of our operating income through key advertisers, but there is still room for you to be part of our ministry! Thanks in advance for supporting WFRN through your donations!

Legacy  giving

A Legacy Story

About 7 years ago, Your Friend, WFRN was feeling the crunch of a devastating recession that hit our community particularly hard. You probably remember how difficult those times were...

WFRN was praying for and believing-in a miracle for us to continue to stay on air. One of those answers came in the form of a surprise generous specific bequest from a faithful listener's estate. We were absolutely stunned. The gift came at crucial time, and we are on the air today partly because of the amazing legacy of a local family.

Did you know that you could make an impact like that too?
We would be humbled if you would prayerfully consider adding a gift to the ministry of WFRN to your planned giving.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Legacy Giving

Q: What is a Legacy Gift?
A: At WFRN, we call a financial gift given at the time of passing, a Legacy Gift. It’s an opportunity to bless a local ministry, and your family in return by showing just how important investing in The Lord’s work, your community, and encouraging generosity is to you.

Q: How do I make a Legacy Gift to WFRN?
A: Contact your estate planning attorney and/or financial advisor to add WFRN as a beneficiary to your Last Will and Testament or Trust, and/or as a named beneficiary to an investment account. However, if and when you do make a decision to give, we would love to thank you! Please call us and let us know!

Q: I don’t have any estate planning documents, how do I get some?

A: WFRN would be happy to refer you to a trusted Christian attorney. Just call 574-875-5166.

Q: Do I have to wait until I go to heaven to donate to WFRN?

A: No. We have a giving page here and you can make a donation there at any time! You may also mail a gift to PO Box 307, Elkhart, IN 46515.

Q: Can I stay Anonymous?
A: You certainly can. We won't tell anyone about your gift if you wish to do your giving in secret. (Matthew 6:4) Let us know if you wish to be kept anonymous and we will honor that.

Use Your IRA to Support WFRN & Save on Taxes!

The IRA Charitable Rollover, originally enacted in 2006 and extended several times, has been made permanent.

If you have an IRA and need to take a Required Minimum Distribution, the IRA Charitable Rollover can help you decrease your tax liability and support WFRN and other ministries.

Here are the details:
Benefits
  • The gift counts towards the minimum required distribution.
  • You can give up to $105,000 per year to qualifying charities from an IRA, and the distribution does not count as taxable income to you.
  • Even if you don't itemize deductions on your tax return, you can benefit from the IRA Charitable Rollover. The gift decreases income (instead of increasing deductions like most charitable gifts).
Requirements
  • You must have reached age 70 1/2.
  • Gift must be made directly from your IRA to the charity.
  • This opportunity is only available for IRAs. It can't be used with a 403(b), 401(k), or other retirement plans.

Be sure to check with your accountant about the IRA Charitable Rollover.
