Designated/Ten Percent Giving

Two Ways to Give

1. Global Treasury Services Giving

The most common method of giving is giving through GTS (Global Treasury Services). These cash gifts are sent to GTS with the designated accounting information for the receiving ministry. These gifts will be recorded on your church’s Church Giving Report.

2. Point-to-Point Giving

A point-to-point cash/non-cash gift may be channeled directly to the Ten Percent approved receiving ministry if it meets one of the following criteria:

• The ministry is an approved USA/Canada Nazarene Compassionate Ministry Center.
• The ministry is an approved USA/Canada New Start.
• The point-to-point gift has been approved by the Ten Percent Committee.

To receive recognition for all approved point-to-point gifts fill out the form below and add the amount to the appropriate lines designated on the Annual Pastor's Report.

• Request for Ten Percent Recognition

*Because Point-to-Point gifts are not sent through GTS they will not be reflected on the reports supplied by GTS. This is why it is important to add the amount to the Annual Pastor’s Report.
