Commodities are any unprocessed or partially processed goods, such as grains, fruits, vegetables, or precious metals.

Eastern Mennonite Missions accepts gifts in many forms – some which offer you special tax savings. For example, a gift may reduce your adjusted gross income, reducing income tax and social security taxes (if you are self-employed).

You may give commodities to Eastern Mennonite Missions, thereby reducing your adjusted gross income and allowing you to give more. You may use such gifts to save on taxes in the current year, and you may use commodities to fund flexible deferred charitable gift annuities – allowing you to obtain a fixed income later in life as the annuity grows.
