The QLBC Foundation

The QLBC Foundation is a tax-exempt corporation formed to support the ministry of QLBC. Its purpose is to provide a vehicle for the friends of QLBC to support the church in special ways right now and to remember the church in their wills and memorials. Through the QLBC Foundation, they can be assured that such funds will be administered for the benefit of QLBC programs separate from the church's annual operating budget.

We have been taught throughout life that regular giving is a part of our stewardship responsibilities, recognizing God's ownership of all. Our present giving is critical to the strength and witness of God's Church, but also important is the distribution of our estates after we have gone on to be with our Lord. Therefore, as part of our total stewardship program, we should spend the necessary time to do a thorough job in planning the distribution of our estates. Regardless of your charitable giving goals,an up-to-date will is one of the most important legacies you can leave your family. The QLBC Foundation has been established to assist you in this very important aspect of stewardship.

Will money I leave to the Foundation avoid taxation in my estate?

Yes, the QLBC Foundation is a tax exempt organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and amounts left to it will not be included in your taxable estate.
