FGC accepts many in-kind donations. For example, volunteers donate at least $30,000 annually through their self-funded travel expenses to carry out FGC’s ministries and governance. This is one example of an in-kind contribution. If you are interested in making an in-kind donation apart from self-funded volunteer travel, please contact us at development@fgcquaker.org.

No, FGC does not publish names of donors. FGC does publish (with permission) the names of people who committed to make a gift in their will or estate to FGC.

Check with your employer to see whether your employer has a matching gift program. Then ask if that program includes religious service organizations.

FGC publishes audited financial statements including a year-end balance sheet on our website. You may also read Friends General Conference’s profile on GuideStar where FGC holds the Gold Seal of Transparency.

Effective organizations need the flexibility to respond to emerging concerns and opportunities. However, FGC also accepts restricted contributions. Possible designations include:

  • the Gathering, which helps support the annual Gathering of Friends.
  • the Bookstore, which is a ministry and relies on generous contributions from individuals as well as grants.
  • the FGC Permanent Endowment, which provides steady support for FGC’s programs over the long term. 

To tell us about gift intentions that include a restriction:

  • Donate Online and use the Comment field to place a restriction on the online gift.
  • Call us and tell us about the restriction over the phone.
  • Send in your donation and write the restriction in the memo area of the check.
