KALS 97.1 FM & YOUR NETWORK OF PRAISE

FILLING THE AIRWAVES OF MONTANA AND WYOMING WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST!

    For many years, KALS 97.1FM and Your Network of Praise have been broadcasting the gospel to Montana! KALS serves Kalispell and the surrounding area, and Your Net-work of Praise is heard throughout much of the state on 5 FM stations and 13 translators.

    In August 2001, the two organizations joined forces in an effort to work together to strengthen and expand the reach of Christian radio in Montana.

    As a non-profit ministry, KALS & Your Network of Praise rely, in part, on your financial gifts to support this important work. Each contribution to the station is deeply appreciated and very helpful in fulfilling our ministry goals. All contributions are tax-deductible as well.

    Most people who support Christian ministries do so simply because they are committed to the cause of Christ. We are fortunate in America, though, to receive personal tax benefits when we contribute to ministries and other non-profit organizations. And, special tax benefits are available to those who support ministries through gifts of appreciated assets.

    Each September you will hear a Sharathon broadcast during which we will share our plans and financial needs with you. The rest of the year we focus on ministry, and don’t say much about the finances.

    Would you like to help KALS through monthly support or a one-time gift? If so, please give us a call at 752-5257.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES ENABLE YOU TO GIVE AND RECEIVE

    You’ve probably heard the old saying that says the only two things we can be sure of in life are death and taxes. For those of us who are Christians, death is probably the least intimidating of the two!

    Things like planning for retirement and estate planning can be complex and confusing issues, which generally require guidance from CPA’s or attorneys. And, figuring out how to make the most of the money you’ve earned can be quite a challenge.

    For many, age 60 and above, one of the best ways to support ministry, reduce taxes, and earn an excellent rate of return on their money is through the establishment of a charitable gift annuity (CGA). A CGA can be funded with a gift of cash, securities, or practically any other kind of property. In exchange for their gift, donors receive fixed payments for life. In addition to the above average income from the gift, there are a number of tax advantages, too. When the CGA is established, donors may deduct the charitable gift portion of the annuity, and part of each check a donor receives is regarded as a tax-free return of principal.

    It may be that a charitable gift annuity fits your financial plans. To find out, you may want to call your tax advisor. Plus the IRS allows deductions for gifts of other types of property as well. If you are interested in discussing the possibility of such a gift, please call the Stewardship Office of KALS / Your Network of Praise in Helena at (888) 443-5237 for more detailed information.
