We are supported by the generosity of churches and Christians who believe that training gospel ministers is a vital component of the Great Commission. When donating, please indicate what fund you would like to contribute towards. In the event of a special fund (e.g. memorial donations), please specify this in the memo line.

As you consider partnering with RBS, you may wonder how is RBS able to offer theological education at such reduced costs?

• First, we are an online school, so we do not have a permanent residential faculty.

• Second, our staff offices and library are housed in facilities owned by Emmanuel Baptist Church in Coconut Creek, FL.

• Third, tuition is kept low through higher semester enrollment fees, which stabilizes our budget.

• Finally, we are blessed by the generosity of a committed group of supporting and overseeing churches. You can learn more about the Church Partnership Program here. If you are interested in knowing more about our financial needs, please contact us directly.

PayPal Giving Fund

Since RBS is registered as a non-profit charity organization, you can also donate through our PayPal Giving Fund without additional fees.

Give Appreciated Stock

Donating stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs that have increased in value for more than one year can provide an even greater tax benefit than cash donations. Many can receive a deduction for the full fair-market value of the stock, while potentially avoiding the capital gains tax you would have paid by selling the stock yourself.

Donor Advised Fund Giving

A DAF is like a personal charitable savings account. You can contribute cash or appreciated stock, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund to charities over time. This allows you to claim a deduction in a high-income year while reserving the funds for future giving.

Donate Cryptocurrency

If you would like to donate cryptocurrency, this option is also available through Every.

IRA Distributions

If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a QCD directly from your IRA to a qualified ministry like RBS. This counts toward your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) but is not included in your taxable income, which can help lower your adjusted gross income. This is one of the most tax-efficient options for retirees, especially if you do not need all of your RMD and want to avoid a higher tax bracket. See this page for more details.
