Year-End Giving

Year-End Giving

Year-End Giving Reminder                    

To assure that all donations are properly recorded for tax purposes (per IRS Publication 526 Charitable Contributions), please remember the following:

  • Contributions received by mail must be postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service in 2024 to be applied to your 2024 contribution statement.

  • Please note that the church office will be closed for the Christmas Holidays, December 23 – 27, Monday through Friday.

  • Contributions may still be brought to the church the week the office is closed and placed in the secure wall deposit box at the Small Groups Building. The secure deposit box is located by the double door entrance under the awning and the parking lot.  This deposit box will be checked multiple times the week the office is closed.  Gifts that are placed in the drop boxes Tuesday, December 31, will be picked up early the morning of January 1.  Any gifts placed in the wall deposit box on January 1, are received as 2025 gifts.

  • Please note that a gift that is placed in the offering basket or brought by the office in January 2025, cannot be posted to 2024, even if the check is dated 2024.

  • If your contribution is a stock gift, please complete the online form Click here as soon as possible. (Please note---the stock is valued on the day we receive the stock gift in our brokerage account—not the date you request the transfer or the date your broker initiates the transfer).

  • For contributions made online, please note that there is a 2-day processing window for all online gifts (standard ACH banking timeline).   Because of the 2-day processing window, please be aware that your gift will be deducted on the settlement date, not the day you schedule the gift.   If you make a gift on December 29-31, that gift will not deduct from your account until January—please refer to your confirmation email as to the date the gift will be deducted.  While we will do our best to honor gifts scheduled at year-end in 2024, but deducted in 2025, it may not always be possible.  As with all banking transactions, online transactions are only processed on business days defined as a calendar day other than Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday.
