Welcome to our Legacy in Action: Gifting Your Company for Impact event! Join us on Thurdsay, May 29 2025 at 4:00PM for an insightful discussion on corporate gifting at The Hoover Center, Elizabethtown College. Presenters will be Alan Barnhart, Jeff Rutt, and Alisa Hoober. Please arrive at 3:30PM for registration and networking.Are you preparing for a transition, whether a sale event or succession to the next generation? Would you like to reduce taxes? Would you like to increase your family’s giving? Increase your employee’s engagement? National Christian Foundation has walked with thousands of families and business owners, helping them make the most of defining moments in their family and business. Come interact with two business owners who see stewardship as the driving factor behind operating their family business. Alan Barnhart has led Barnhart Crane and Rigging (BCR) since 1986. In 2007 they gifted 100% of BCR to NCF. In the intervening time, BCR has grown to over 40 locations across the US and Canada. Alan continues to lead the business and remains the CEO. He and his wife, Katherine, work with 80 employees and spouses to deploy 50% of their annual profit to advance the ministries they care most about. Jeff Rutt founded Keystone Custom homes in 1992. The Rutt family has since gifted 90% of KCH to NCF while growing to 9,000 homes. Jeff and his children continue to lead the business. Together they deploy profits to advance the ministries they care most about, like Hope International. Alisa Hoober is a passionate advocate for faith-driven generosity. Alisa spent a decade on staff with HOPE International, leading recruitment and retention and contributing to the organization. She now partners in managing a real estate portfolio with Generations of Hope, focusing on stewardship and community building. Alisa encourages others to live generously and with purpose and engage the next generation in transformation. Jon D. Eisenberg, President of National Christian Foundation’s regional office will explain how these kinds of sophisticated gifts work. Then you will be able to talk to Alan, Jeff and Alisa about their journey. We hope this helps you discern whether this makes sense for your situation.
