SUPPORT JESUS HOUSE
LET'S FIGHT ADDICTION & HOMELESSNESS TOGETHER.
Every donation makes a difference. Your gift helps low income or homeless men, women, and families in the community and our addiction recovery residents. Gifts go toward everyday necessities like food, water, and shelter. In-kind donations help set our recovery residents up with their own homes and for their life after Jesus House. Above all else, your contributions foster, teach, and care for those in our community who need it most.

To start visit smile.amazon.com. Sign in and choose Jesus House in Oklahoma City as your charitable organization to receive donations.

Stocks & Securities
Donors can use their own broker/agent to transfer stock. If the stock has been held long-term (over one year), the donor does not have to pay capital gains tax on the stock and is allowed a tax deduction for the full value of the stock. Donors may also choose to donate stock in order to claim a loss, which may be beneficial for tax circumstances. In either case, the stock must first be transferred to Jesus House before being liquidated. For more information, please consult your financial advisor, and call our executive director below.
Retirement Gifts
The 2010 Relief Act permits individuals age 70.5 or older to contribute up to $100,000 from a qualifying retirement account directly to a qualifying charity without recognizing the assets transferred to the charity as income. Please contact your financial advisor for additional information concerning your retirement accounts, and reach out to our executive director below.

HOW DONATIONS ARE USED.
Primarily, our assistance goes to helping those in our community who struggle with addiction recovery. Seventy-three percent of Jesus House residents maintain a minimum of one year of sobriety after completing our Life Transformation Program. In 2019, 36 residents received their HS diploma through our GED program. We also operate a food pantry that serves many underprivileged members of our community. We are also able to serve meals one time a day to the hungry in our community.
Donations to Jesus House are spent in three categories: 61% percent goes directly to our programs, 34% goes to administration, and the remaining 5% goes toward fundraising. Below we have included our 990 Tax document, which provides a further breakdown of our nonprofit organization’s financial information.
