Your generosity supports the mission and ministries of our parish in many meaningful ways. In addition to weekly offertory giving, there are several other ways you can make a gift that may also provide financial or tax benefits to you and your family. We encourage you to consult your financial advisor, tax professional, or attorney when considering these options.

IRA Charitable Contributions

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the parish. These gifts can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution and may provide tax advantages.

A qualified IRA contribution is a simple and impactful way to support the Church while stewarding your retirement assets.

Grain Donations

Farmers may choose to donate grain directly to the parish. A grain gift may offer potential tax advantages while supporting the mission of the Church in a significant way.

If you are interested in making a grain transfer gift, please contact the parish office before delivery so proper arrangements and documentation can be completed.

Stock Transfers

Gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a tax-wise way to support the parish. Donating securities directly may help you avoid capital gains taxes while allowing you to make a larger charitable impact.

Please contact the parish office for transfer instructions prior to initiating a stock gift.

ACH & Automatic Bank Withdrawal

Automatic giving through ACH bank withdrawal is a convenient and secure way to support the parish on a recurring basis. Contributions can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or at another frequency that works best for your household.

ACH giving helps provide consistent support for parish ministries and simplifies your regular stewardship.

Planned & Legacy Giving

Including the parish in your estate plans is a lasting way to support the future of the Church and its ministries. Planned gifts may include:

• Bequests in a will or trust
• Beneficiary designations
• Life insurance gifts
• Retirement account designations

Legacy gifts help ensure that future generations will continue to encounter Christ through the life of the parish.
