Planned Giving

Over the past 30 years this organization has helped thousands of children have the experience of a life-time, all based on donations from individual donors, churches, and foundations who support our mission. This fosters the spiritual education of the future leaders of our Movement. A Christian Science camp experience can be instrumental in children and adults becoming more deeply committed to Christian Science and to church.

The Gift of Spiritual Growth

Benefits of a High-Impact Gift to The Campership Fund:

  • Provides financial assistance to adults, families and kids wanting to grow spiritually through a camp experience. TCF is the primary funding source for all six camps for Christian Scientists.

  • Provides resources to help us identify new campers and give them the opportunity to go to camp

  • Helps camps eliminate the stress of raising funds for camperships so they can concentrate on their operational needs.

  • Helps level the playing field for all 6 camps. Individuals can go to the camp of their choice and with a campership they can focus on travel costs not tuition.

  • Lessens the burden of taxes on your family as an estate tax charitable deduction

  • Leaves a lasting testimony to the impact camp has on those striving to become better Christian Scientists

I promise you there will not be a better return on your investment than helping a Sunday School student (or an adult!) attend even a week of Christian Science summer camp! 

How You Can Make a High-Impact Gift

A bequest through your estate planning is one of the easiest gifts to make and has the effect of blessing so many. Planned gifts include:

  • Gifts from donor advised funds

  • Gifts from Individual retirement funds

  • Naming The Campership Fund as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan.

With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or The Campership Fund as part of your estate plan.

Sample language: “I give, devise and bequeath [$ or %] of the rest and residue of my estate to The Campership Fund, 125 E. Ocean Ave., Edgewater, FL  32132,  to be placed in the Annual Fund.” 

Some beneficiary designation forms require an organization’s Federal Tax Identification Number. The Campership Fund’s number is: 58-1987690.
