Make a tax-deductible donation in support of Computer-Assisted Biblical Studies

The nonprofit GRAMCORD Institute appreciates those who have made its many scholarly research and publishing projects possible. You may wish to support the Institute's mission in general, donate specific GRAMCORD Institute software to a deserving individual or institution in a developing country, or perhaps "invest" in an area of your own personal academic interest. We also make gifts of computer equipment to individual Biblical scholars around the world whose work benefits the field of computer-assisted Biblical studies.

We suggest you consult your accountant or tax adviser concerning your particular charitable donation situation. However, in general, for your gift to be tax-deductible, you must comply with the following:

1) Contact the Institute Director by email or phone and request current instructions and special need that have come to our attention. You may donate directly to our 501c3 affiliate(s) or make arrangements for contributing to TGI projects that may operate in cooperation with your participating church, mission, or academic institution. Bequests from your estate will encourage eager seminarians in distant lands who may never own more than a very few Bible reference books but who somehow manage to buy an old personal computer with a mostly forgotten operating system---but The GRAMCORD Institute almost never ends its support of that aging computer that finds its way to the foreign field. (Keep in mind that tax deductibility rules and procedures vary greatly from country to country. TGI cannot take the place of your professional tax accountant.)

2) If you wish you may specify in general how you would like your donation to be used. Examples: send a GRAMCORD FOR WINDOWS Ultimate Bundle to some deserving international student studying at a U.S. seminary; sponsor an institutional site license for Seminario Biblico in Argentina; sponsor Septuagint database development. On the other hand, to be potentially eligible for tax-deduction on your Form 1040 Schedule A, you may NOT specify, "Send a GRAMCORD Scholar's Bundle to John J. Smith who is a seminary student at DTS." The IRS does not usually permit tax deductions for gifts to explicitly named individuals. However, we MAY be able to work with the associated institution or mission in order to preserve the tax deductibility of your gift while directing the benefits to a particular individual's academic or mission project.

These are general guidelines and only the IRS and your professional tax accountant can determine the eligibility of your donation for tax-deduction purposes.

We thank you for your support of Greek and Hebrew Biblical language tools and databases -- and for sponsoring nearly 30 years of GRAMCORD Institute research!
