The Foundation is a tool for the KNCSB, associations, churches, and individuals to use for the purpose of advancing the work of God in our Convention area.  We provide resources and help in various ways to assist these different individuals and groups as they do the work that God has assigned them to do.  We are accountable to the Convention for the way in which we provide this assistance. 

ESTATE PLANNING

We provide legal services to write estate plans to members of KNCSB churches who will give a minimum of 10% of their estate to Baptist causes.  The estate plans that have been written are a tremendous force for missions in our Convention. We have received over $1.3 million from estate plans which provides $80,000 annually in mission support for the Convention. Estate plans have provided over $1.8 million in designated giving. Every believer should have a will dedicated to the stewardship of what God has given to them for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

LOANS

We make loans to churches, associations and Convention organizations for future expansion of these groups.  We have three funds from which we can make loans.  The Vanderbilt Church Planting Loan Fund has rates based on the consumer price index which are normally below bank rates.  The Church Sites Loan Fund is for churches that are purchasing land for future building.  The rates on these loans are also below prevailing rates.  The Revolving Building Loan Fund is our largest fund and is available to any of our cooperating churches for building loans.  $50,000 of the interest from these loans is used for mission and collegiate ministry work in Kansas and Nebraska.

MINISTRY-ADVISED FUND

Does your church have at least $25,000 saved with no immediate plans to use it? The Kansas-Nebraska Southern Baptist Foundation could invest & manage this money through a “Ministry-Advised Fund.” Long-term, your money could be earning at a higher rate than sitting in a savings account and for only a 0.75% management fee. In addition, 100% of your funds can be withdrawn at any time.

ENDOWMENT FUNDS

When individuals, churches, associations, and KNCSB organizations want to set aside money to provide ongoing support for Southern Baptist causes that are important to them, we assist them in setting up endowments and manage them.  A percentage of the money is given to the cause each year and some of the growth is retained in the fund to allow it to keep pace with inflation.  If you would like to give to the Kingdom of God from now until the Lord returns, contact the Foundation and we can show you how to provide a perpetual gift to God’s work.
