Supporting Menno Haven
Menno Haven Camp and Retreat Center can only continue its mission "to invite all to experience God's World and Christ's Kingdom in a camp and retreat setting through opportunities for worship, fellowship, recreation, growth, and renewal" with support from you. Maintaining and operating a Christian camping facility takes support in many different forms. Support through the following ways is always needed and appreciated:
- Prayer - Join a group of people who commit to praying for Menno Haven by emailing [email protected]. Prayer makes things happen. Many thanks for those who are part of this team and who pray for the Menno Haven ministry and the staff.
- Financial Support
- Menno Haven relies on donations for 15-20% of our budget (or approximately $90,000) in order to maintain ministry each year. See link above or below for donating online or you can mail it directly to the Menno Haven office.
- Respond to an Appeal Letter

- Make a donation using non-cash assets.
- There may be significant tax savings if you give appreciated stock, mutual funds, or other property. Farmers may also benefit significantly by gifting commodities such as corn or soybeans rather than cash. Your tax adviser or the Mennonite Foundation can assist you in making such gifts.
- Make a donation from your retirement savings.
- If you are over 70.5 years of age, consider making a direct charitable gift from your traditional IRA. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) permits you to directly transfer up to $100,000 per year to Menno Haven, avoiding income tax on the proceeds. Such a gift may be used to fulfill the Required Minimum Distribution. Check with your tax adviser or the Mennonite Foundation for assistance.
