Giving
From the very early years, the ministry of
Cannon Beach Conference Center has been supported and extended by
the generous giving of friends whose lives have been touched at
Cannon Beach and who believe in the ministry.
Today, about 5% of the Conference operating budget and nearly
all capital or building projects are funded by regular gifts,
pledges and/or offerings taken at conferences. Each year several
thousand people give as they believe the Lord is directing them,
from gifts of $2 on up to $20,000.
But cash gifts, while essential, are not the only way generous
friends give to Cannon Beach Conference Center. Many people see
fit to make Cannon Beach the beneficiary of a portion of an
estate or the direct beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
Some set up Trusts or designate the conference center the
recipient of a gift annuity. Others give a gift of stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Still others
have helped tremendously by the donation of a vehicle, boat,
jewelry, collectibles, furniture, etc., that can either be used
or sold.
A very special group of friends are those who are members of our
"One of the Family" program. This group numbers about
700 and
consists of those who support the Conference Center through
giving of at least $180 per year, pray regularly for the
Conference ministry, and help from time to time with counsel,
direction and volunteering.
Cannon Beach Conference Center has a yearly independent audit and is a member of the Evangelical
Council for Financial Accountability. To view our ECFA profile,
