Meet The Team

Jeff's faith journey has led him to try to use his skills and experiences for the kingdom. This all came about because his Friend and Mentor Gordon Murphy asked him to do the Masters Program on Bob Buford's book HalfTime with the tagline of "Going from Success to Significance".  After finishing the 3 year program Murph pushed me to take my skill set and use it for the Kingdom.  That's when Murph introduced me to the National Christian Foundation-Chicago and the opportunity to become a relationship manager turned into a reality.  7 years later I was made the President of the Chicago office of the National Christian Foundation.  It's such an honor and privilege to serve along our team in Chicago and the rest of the country to help maximize dollars for the kingdom. We Take IT for Charity only facilitates Non Cash gifts along with select Impact Investments for giver opportunities that can't be served by NCF in their particular situation.  Well over 90% of our gifts received are turned into cash and then sent on to the givers Giving Funds at the National Christian Foundation.

IF you ever have an idea on something you want to do, be it buying an asset or giving a asset to be used in some charitable way let's chat.  We may not always be able to help you but I"m pretty sure we can introduce you to someone that can.
