The Shepherd's Crook Ministries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry funded solely through donations and fund-raising activities. Any donations sent to help our ministry are tax-deductible. We feel a great burden of responsibility before God and those who donate, to be prudent in the ways we use the funds. We have a board of Godly men and women who guide and direct the activities of the ministry.

Ways to Donate

We will be happy to answer any questions about funds for The Shepherd's Crook. To make a one-time donation or commit to monthly support for the ministry:

Designated Donations

You can choose to donate your funds to one of the following specific areas of our ministry:

General Fund

The general fund covers the costs of running the ministry. It is from this account that the director and administrative assistant are paid. Also, office supplies and phone bills that make communication possible, travel to speak on behalf of special-needs orphans, and any other miscellaneous expenses are covered by this account. All undesignated donations are put in the general fund.

Children's Accounts

Any of the children on our site, either waiting or in-process, is eligible for tax-deductible donations. In the case of a child whose adoption is started, these funds are passed on to the family as needed to cover the costs associated with that child's adoption. In the case of a child who is still waiting, the funds are held on account until a family contacts The Shepherd's Crook and begins the process of adopting that child. These donations may be in the form of either a one-time contribution or ongoing support.
