Why donations? Where do donations go?

5-10 year goal 

Our first priority for donations is to acquire a permanent physical address. Our second priority cannabis education. We would like a place large enough to hold community events. A nice size warehouse and a 20 to 40 acre farm are our near future goals. We need a nice size farm for our organic gardens and organic live stalk. We need a warehouse to distribute these goods to our donating community at lower prices.

Our goal is to create a community co-op, by pooling our resources together we can acquire our necessities at lower prices.

Organizations That Qualify To Receive Deductible Contributions

You can deduct your contributions only if you make them to a qualified organization. To become a qualified organization, most organizations other than churches and governments, as described below, must apply to the IRS.(Publication 526/Charitable contributions)

  
Donations to a church are 100% legal. Everyone has the right to give Uncle Sam the money by way of taxes or give it to a public charity that gives back. At the end of the year you total up the amount of donations you made to your public charity. That total is deducted from your gross income, which lowers the amount of taxes you pay Uncle Sam. C.O.C.T. Ministry is a Universal Multi-denominational Educational and Healing Ministry.  We will be incorporating a non-profit 501 c (3)  C.O.C.T. Foundation Inc.  This will serve as our community out reach program.  Social services will be the center for our educational and healing programs.

Our ministry also travels allot to spread the words of freedom. We also hand out and give away allot of literature and maintain a church website. All this costs money.  We donate our fair share because we believe what we are doing is worth while and important to  all.  In order to reach and educate many, just sending even $1 dollar, will help. If you wish to donate you can send all other forms of donations to C.O.C.T. Ministry, 5311 S.E. Powell Blvd. suite 655, Portland, OR-97206.  No checks please. All money orders can be made out to

With lots of love,
