What is Kingdom Oil
Kingdom Oil is an intermediary between
resources and ministry. We function like a spiritual
investment banking organization. On the resources side
we seek to build a syndicate or group of Kingdom investors
who want to invest money or talent into Christian ministries.
On the ministry side we seek to build the capacity of
ministries to make them more effective and more attractive
to investors. We are established under laws which govern
Christian community foundations.
Donors come to Kingdom Oil as a trusted
warehouse and distribution center for Kingdom wealth.
We offer two financial options. The first is for a donor
to establish his or her own DONOR
ADVISED FUND. The second is for a donor to invest
in our KINGDOM
FUND which is a type of mutual fund of different
Kingdom investment opportunities which we have developed
over 25 years of Twin Cities' experience.
A DONOR ADVISED FUND is an individual
account inside Kingdom Oil which donors establish for
themselves, their families or their businesses. The
donor gets a maximum allowable "public charity"
deduction for contributions and then gives Kingdom Oil
advice on where those funds should be allocated.
THE KINGDOM FUND includes nine separate
portfolios of ministry, each of which includes several
individual ministries. Kingdom Oil has a covenant relationship
with each ministry in the Kingdom Fund through which
both Kingdom Oil and the ministry agree to Honor one
another, to Pray for one another, to Invest in one another,
to Build Capacity of one another and to claim the Twin
Cities as Kingdom together. Donors may invest in the
Kingdom Fund as a whole or they may invest by designating
one or more portfolios or they may designate individual
ministries to receive support. All ministries in a particular
portfolio within the Kingdom Fund are also expected
to collaborate with the other ministries in that portfolio
in an effort to build Kingdom together around common
interests.
The difference between DONOR ADVISED GIVING
and THE KINGDOM FUND is that with DONOR ADVISED GIVING
the donor has an individual account and can advise Kingdom
Oil to support particular favorites which may or may
not be part of THE KINGDOM FUND. While such gifts are
eminently worthy they may not be part of THE KINGDOM
FUND which has a specific purpose to encourage ministries
which are working in a particular area of ministry to
partner and otherwise build Kingdom together.
We honor and bless the reality that there
are many, many wonderful ministries which we are not
aware of but which donors will want to support. Our
purpose is to facilitate giving which donors find close
to their hearts while also growing THE KINGDOM FUND
as a collaborative mutual fund of ministries which have
their own calling but also desire to unify for greater
purposes.
