I decided that the best vehicle for me was a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT). By using a CRT, I could donate some highly appreciated stock and not pay any capital gains taxes, get a contribution tax deduction, and get a guaranteed income for life. I could then support the Christian charities of my choice with the endowment that remained until Jesus comes again.
I also set up a “Donor Advisory Fund” (DAF). With this fund I can make a current gift and then decide periodically what Christian charity I want to make a gift to.
Scholarship funds are available to assist in college tuition costs for members of State Convention of Baptists in Indiana (SCBI) churches, who are called to and preparing for vocational ministry. Scholarship funds are limited and are awarded based on need and parameters set by scholarship fund donors. Scholarships are not available for doctoral candidates. The Foundation accepts applications beginning November 1 for the following Fall/Spring academic school year. Applications and supportive documentation must be received by April 1 in order to be considered for a scholarship. Scholarship awards are determined in May.

I am so grateful to the Lord for his provision through BFI. Because of the sacrificial giving of others I have the opportunity to be further equipped for ministry. This scholarship has removed financial burdens so that I can be more invested in my classes. To God be the glory!
My family and I are continually amazed at how God has provided for us during this season of life. Certainly, receiving this year's BFI Scholarship is evidence of God’s providential care. In covering a significant portion of this year’s tuition, I am able to continue pursuing my call to church ministry without the fear of placing school on “pause” to save the necessary funds.
I am also blessed by the BFI's commitment to support the theological training of men and women from Southern Baptist churches all across our state. I pray that each dollar would be maximized and stewarded by recipients for their growth in the knowledge of God and His Word, the advancement of Christ's Kingdom, the good of His Church, the proclamation of the Gospel, and the advancement of the Gospel to the Nations. - Philippians 4:16-20
