We create a fund for you within Stewardship from which to manage your support to charities, churches and individuals in Christian ministry. Leave us to worry about the governance, administration and reporting requirements while you enjoy giving without complications.

A.

We will ask you to provide Stewardship with an expression of wishes during your lifetime, to guide us in respect of your remaining balance and any legacy gift you may wish to leave. You can name a trusted successor to your account; specify recipients and sums for an immediate or gradual disbursal; or entrust funds to Stewardship for us to give away. You can change this expression of wishes as many times as you like.


A.

You can request donations to UK and overseas churches, Christian charities and secular charities providing they don’t conflict with our Christian objectives, which can be found here. You can also support full-time Christian workers who have registered for support from Stewardship. All donations are made at the discretion of our trustees, and are subject to our due diligence checks.


A.

We do not currently provide payroll giving, but many of our clients choose to select Stewardship as their one chosen charity, transfer the payroll giving funds to their Stewardship account, and do all their giving from there. 

Our fees

 

Stewardship is a not-for-profit organisation and our costs are always kept as low as possible. We reinvest any extra income into supporting charitable causes such as church planting and training Christian workers. It’s a joy to partner with you in this Kingdom work.
