Needs & Donation Wish List
Scroll down to review Calvin Crest's needs and donations wish list. As a religious, nonprofit organization we rely on our friends generosity to make improvements, repairs, add new recreations and new facilities in order to the mission outreach. These items will help Calvin Crest reach our mission goals and allow us to sustain the mission for the next generation. To make a donation please contact Craig Huffman, Executive Director at (402) 628-6455, toll free (877) 795-7635 or by email at: craig@calvincrest.org. Many of the items on our needs list are named gift opportunities and can be made in honor of an individual, family, church or organization.
We are also able to accept endowment gifts. Stock transfers, cash donations, making Calvin Crest a beneficiary in your will or insurance policy will help sustain the mission in perpetuity. Endowment gifts are invested, the capital is preserved and a portion of the interest earned is reinvested to help the endowment fund grow. The balance of the interest earned is used to fund the operation, programs, maintenance, repair, improvements, marketing, fundraising and staff development. Contact Craig Huffman to discuss an endowment gift or transfer to the Calvin Crest endowment fund.
