Distribute Now: Comparison Chart Explained

Usual Ways of Using $10,000

  • If $10,000 from your gross salary was taxed at 25% for state & federal income, the money will equal ~$7,500 for you and $2,500 for taxes.

  • If $10,000 was donated through usual means with a ~10% fee taken out, the money will equal $9,000 for missions work and $1,000 for operation costs.

Donating through Last Nations*

  • Because we handle larger donations, less frequent distributions, and are run by a strong team of volunteers: Last Nations is able to distribute 100% of the donation, so each $10,000 donation equals $10,000 for missions work among the unreached.

Usual Ways of Investing

  • If $10,000 from your gross salary was taxed at 25% for state & federal income and then saved in a 3% annual percentage yield account with taxable interest growth, the money will equal ~$10,000 after 10 years… And 0% would have been used for missions throughout those 10 years.

  • If $10,000 from your gross salary was taxed at 25% for state & federal income and then invested in stocks with an 8% annual growth rate which is also taxed for interest, the money will equal ~$13,500 after 10 years… But $0 would have been used for missions throughout those 10 years.

Donating and Investing through Last Nations*

  • If $10,000 is donated tax-free and invested tax-free, Last Nations Board guarantees a yearly distribution starting at $900 on Year 1 then increasing by $100 incrementally for 10 years (so $1000 on Year 2, $1100 on Year 3, $1200 on Year 4 … until $1800 on Year 10). After Year 10, the plan finishes; there are no more distributions for that account. This plan turns the donation into a $13,500 donation over 10 Years and the missionary receives funds as soon as Fall of Year 1.

Donating and Investing through Last Nations*

  • If $10,000 was donated tax-free, invested tax-free, held 2 years for growth, and grew with an 8% annual growth rate and 6% distribution, the money will equal ~$15,500 distributed to the worker and ~$15,500 still growing in the stocks. So the money will have grown to ~$31,000 after 20 years.

  • If $10,000 was donated tax-free, invested tax-free, held 2 years for growth, and grew with a 10% annual growth rate and 6% distribution, the money will equal ~$19,500 distributed to the worker and ~$22,000 still growing in the stocks. So the money will have grown to ~$41,500 after 20 years.
