The ministry of Crossroads is funded by the people of Crossroads. It is through the generous and sacrificial financial gifts of those who make Crossroads their "spiritual home" which keeps our spiritual community going and growing. We together have the privilege of providing the resources which God has entrusted to our care.
You like to support us? You can do it in three ways:
1) Cash offerings collected during our services each week
2) Bank Transfer to "Crossroads" ABN-AMRO 52.97.95.329, The Hague.
3) US Dollar checks made payable to Christian Associates International can be sent to the Crossroads office or placed in the offering basket on Sunday.
As it is our desire to be good and wise stewards of everything the Lord has entrusted to us, we would like to bring to your attention the very generous giving incentives in the Dutch tax law for charitable donations. One can deduct up to 10% of one‚ gross income as gifts to a registered (ANBI) non-profit charitable organization such as Crossroads. Thus, depending on your income level, for every euro you give, the Dutch government contributes anywhere from 33% to 52%. Talk about making your money go a long way!
For those wanting to give more than 10%, one can set up a special 5-year trust (lijfrente contract) via a notary which is tax free to the giver.
We encourage people who want to financially support Crossroads to give via our bank account (ABN-AMRO 52.97.95.329, The Hague). This enables your bank statement to act as your tax-deductible receipt. Many people in our community prefer the convenience and predictability of setting up an automatic monthly bank transfer. Setting up a monthly automatic payment via your bank has the additional advantage of saving you the time and hassle of making bank transfers while saving Crossroads in bank fees.
If you are an ex-pat and not required to file a Dutch tax return, you may want to consider channeling your gifts to Crossroads via Christian Associates offices located in the USA, Canada, and England. We can provide you with more details upon request. Please note: Some ex-pats may benefit by filing both Dutch and their country of origin tax returns. Check with your employer‚ tax department for details. We hope that this information further stimulates those of us who consider Crossroads to be their spiritual home to continue to grow in the grace, joy, and freedom of becoming those generous and cheerful givers we believe God is calling us to become.
