Help us address the generational crisis by directing a grant to Lightraiders through your Donor Advised Fund
Barna and Pew research trends tell us 71% of today’s Christian youth are likely to walk away. On average, they will leave by age 16, and once they walk away, only a small group (1% to 2%) will return.* Worse, these research trends do not yet consider the potentially catastrophic impact of AI.
This doesn’t have to happen. With immersive curriculum and lasting, relational discipleship, the Lightraiders project can help teens gain confidence in their faith and grow in their relationship with Christ, but we need significant financial support to get these tools into the hands of as many parents, teachers, and ministry leaders as possible.
Why Give via a Donor-Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a powerful, tax-smart way to manage your charitable giving. If you already contribute to a DAF like the National Christian Foundation, Fidelity Charitable, or Schwab Charitable, or a standalone faith-based fund, you can easily recommend a grant to support our mission.
Transparency: Give with Confidence
The Lightraiders discipleship curriculum is a dedicated project of Courser Media Inc.
- Candid Verified: We are proud to hold a seal of transparency from Candid (formerly GuideStar), demonstrating our commitment to accountability, fiscal responsibility, and operational excellence.
- 100% Tax-Deductible: Your DAF sponsor can seamlessly distribute funds to us, knowing we meet all federal requirements for eligible charities.
How to Direct Your DAF Grant
1. Contact Your DAF Sponsor
Log in to your DAF online portal (e.g., NCF, Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard) or contact your fund administrator.
2. Search for Our Legal Parent Organization
Because our curriculum is a project of our parent ministry, please ensure your grant is directed to our official legal entity:
- Legal Charity Name: Courser Media Inc.
- EIN (Tax ID Number): 33-1892266
- Mailing Address: 16766 Silver Brook Way, Winter Garden, FL 34787
- Grant Memo Line (Crucial): Please instruct your DAF sponsor to write “For the Lightraiders project” in the memo field so that your gift goes directly to this project.
3. Let Us Know!
Your DAF sponsor may distribute grants anonymously or without providing donor contact information. Please send a quick note to treasurer@coursermedia.com to let us know your grant is on the way so that we can properly thank you and add you to the Vanguard level of the Lightraiders Guild.
