What is the Community Care Fund?
Tax Deductible gifts can be made to support the work of NewHope Community Care. This fund supports those who are most in need and offers generous care so that all may thrive.
Your gift will be allocated where most needed.
What is the NewHope Legacy Fund?
In 2025, we launched the Legacy Fund to invest in the long-term future of NewHope Baptist Church. The intention of this fund is not to address short-term budget needs, rather, it is a way for us to sow into the next season of ministry and mission at NewHope.
There are several ways to invest into this fund: a once-off contribution; regular giving; a gift to celebrate our 75th anniversary in 2026; and/or a bequest through your Will.
The funds will be held in a consolidated reserve on the Balance Sheet of NHBC.
The funds will be expended according to the Rules of the NewHope Legacy Fund, which were drafted by legal experts, approved by the Finance Committee, and recommended to the Church Council, where they were approved on 19 May 2025.
You can find some helpful wording and information in our Gifts In Wills brochure if you would like to explore leaving a bequest.
